Why even have a tweet chat (#GeriMedJC) to complement a live journal club?

The urology community has really been the leader in using Twitter as a medium for academic discussion of recent medical literature. The hashtag #urojc is an asynchronous 48-h monthly journal club focusing on recent articles. Traditionally, journal clubs have been confined to physical space and time. Wouldn't it be great to have discussions engaging an international representation?  Here is an interesting study of the successes of #urojc including growth and sustainability.
