Salad, entree, dessert. That's the proper order for an enjoyable meal, right? Except in Europe where you are more likely to end with a salad. While we treat the salad as an appetizer in North America, Europeans see it as meal-ending digestive aid with the oil and vinegar in the dressing helping to break up the fats just consumed. A predictable order to any common activity can be comforting to some, it can quickly become an unnecessary fixed routine that is just one step away from a rut.

One thing about linked in groups and twitter - you really have to keep it short and sweet. It does force one to stay focused on what you are trying to say, what you want to know, and how you are going to say it. No room for un-necessary verbiage. I see the good and bad of it. And I have certainly learned how to eliminate, eliminate, eliminate. The thing is - sometimes I look at what I've written and it could have been done by a 5th grader.
