Social Network?

In this day and time if you don't have an account with Facebook, Twitter, or MySpace (or more likely, all three) you don't know what your friends or family are doing, can't network, can't find a date.  These so-called social networks are keeping us further and further apart.  I'll be the first to admit there are definite upsides to these sites.  Just yesterday I found my prom date on Facebook and though hesistant to use it I have accepted Twitter as a necessary evil in my life (although please, people-I don't need to know when you shower, eat or go to work.)  Everytime some of my Facebook friends and I get together we go on and on about how fun it is and promise how we're going to get together and call more often-cut to two months later and none of us have come through.  Why? Because what would we talk about.  Is your friend up for a promotion?  Just wait-they'll post what happened.  How was your cousin's vacation?  Don't worry, you'll get a full report with pictures as soon as they get home, if not during the actual vacation.  Hell, Facebook is so omnipresent that a movie about it's creation was number one at the box office.  A movie about a website, written by one of my writing heroes Aron Sorkin, no less and he doesn't touch anything that isn't culturally relevant.  Mind you, I'm not totally hating on the sites.  Having several friends who live overseas, I love how these sites allow us to communicate in real time without expensive phone bills, but nothing virtual will ever take the place of a few pints down at the pub.
