But what's different about this form of social networking, what makes it appealing, how will people use it in years to come? On "Voices in the Family," they discussed Twitter. The guests were Clive Thompson and David Parry. Thompson is a science, technology and culture writer for Wired magazine, The New York Times and New York Magazine.
