I have learned that if I want to REALLY grab somebody's attention, I have had better luck tweeting them. Just sayin'.

Okay. You get the point. If you have a connection and affinity with another person, who is to say that the way in which you communicate is wrong? I have friends who do not engage in social media at all, and I love them for it. Online friendships also allow for a degree of anonymity; a confessional of sorts. The ability to share what you might not be able to share with those who know you in real life for fear of judgement. Friendship must be redefined. If we are willing to embrace online dating, then why not online friendships?

Like c'mon you can still pick up the phone, I think some people spend way too much time behind thier computers.
