*Jared Keller in [[The Atlantic]] writes, "Math Overflow is almost an anti-social network, focused solely on productively addressing the problems posed by its users." He quotes Scott Morrison saying "Mathematicians as a whole are surprisingly skeptical of many aspects of the modern Internet... In particular, things like Facebook, Twitter, etc. are viewed as enormous wastes of time."<ref>Jared Keller, [http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2010/09/beyond-facebook-how-the-worlds-mathematicians-organize-online/63422/ Beyond Facebook: How the World's Mathematicians Organize Online], ''[[The Atlantic]]'', September 28, 2010.</ref>
