I think bradm is right that there is an argument in there that they are also "totally different beasts" because of a qualitative difference in the depth and end usuage of the connections.If you remove time and space boundaries from meaningful social networking I don't think you get Facebook.Atleast I hope not.Optimally the convergence of meaningful connections between all people' date=' removed from strictures of space and time, approaches ideas of the noosphere.Is facebook or it's ilk the beginning of that? The internet yes, Facebook itself-I dont think so-atleast not at present.
Interesting stuff though.[/quote']
