If improvisation were a social network, I think it would be Twitter.
There is a short-form game usually involving 2 players where a short scene is enacted based on an audience suggestion. It is timed and cut at 1 minute. The scene is then replayed but can only last 30 seconds, then again for 20 seconds, then 10, then 5 and finally for just 1 second. The consequence of this is that the scene gets boiled down to its most important points, verbally and physically - usually hilariously.
So, how does this connect with social networking? Well, if you want to learn how to write excellent Tweets or status updates on Google+ and Facebook, then you might benefit from playing this game. It really helps you get to the point and avoid the bullshit!
