I won't have anything to do with the social networking scene, but I can tell you that it is definitely affecting my law students. When i started teaching, I didn't have to worry about my students not being able to write in complete sentences. But now that I'm getting groups of kids who have been using twitter since their teens (where they are limited to 140 characters per post), I find an increasing number of students not being able to write in clear, concise and complete sentences. Their thought processes seem considerably more frantic as well. They have a hard time organizing thoughts and ideas in a readable manner.
