I wonder to what extent anyone's thought about the impact of social networks on how we value our more casual friendships. I've still got a handful of acquaintances who've never "upgraded" from Friendster, and a slightly larger handful who only have identies on MySpace. I long to close up those older accounts, but it's almost as though I would be turning my back on those late-or-never adopters. Is the girl I made friends with during that summer internship 10 years worth keeping Friendster active? An interesting social question... Oh, and enjoy your vacation. “It’s to the point where I might have more social networks than actual friends.”
