There is a point to be made here, that social networks help foster connectoons that might otherwise be lost. I'm not sure whether Facebook itself is specifically the answer (I do know that sites like MySpace and Orkut and even LinkedIn have played no role whatsoever). But like Janet Clarey, I do tend to let contacts drop once I have moved on - not because they're "not useful" (heaven forbid) but simply because I'm not that outgoing to begin with and get busy and focused and forget to talk to people who aren't right in front of me. Facebook, this year, has put them right in front of me, in the same way that discussion lists and blogging put people in front of me in the past.
