i got away from the talks with the impression that i'm hopelessly behind - i'm not on twitter, hardly use facebook, blog only here and very very occasionally for work, don't have a linkedin account or on any other professional network like it, i'm so 20th century.
just saw that one of the keynote speakers, somebody with a rather huge online presence, twittered about my talk. and got replies from other twitterers. and new information. a good thing, i guess, but still, do we really have to shout out to the interwebs and anybody who could remotely be interested aka bothered to read what we're doing and thinking every second??? is that really valuable outreach and science dissemination?

It's a different way of communicating and definately to a different audience. My impression is lots of biologists on twitter, reasonable amount of glacios - but few physical oceanographers.
You should give it a try and see what you think.
But also given the amazing fieldwork you have been doing you would always feel a bit "disconnected" on your return wouldnt you.
