Just this weekend, when I signed up for friendfeed, I discovered that it was yet another SBS (spam broadcast system) for the twittery stylings of Jason Calacanis, Fred Wilson and Mike Arrington!

Once they are in your contact list, you are forever haunted by their uber-social spammery.

* Our parents generation that use social networks have had to go back in memory, and add people.
* Our generation it’s probably not been that long, but we stil go back
* The next generation has all their friends in Facebook/Bebo/….. already.

For example my little sister, of ~16. She has her friends from school, to be expected. What’s the long term of that?

One upon a time you grew, you fell out with people, you lost relationships over time. Re-discovering them was sometimes fun, sometimes painful etc. You have a drop-off rate (I’m no social psychologist, might be another term).

What we have now from my little sisters point of view is to always be connect to everyone you went to school with, then high school, college, uni, etc. What does that mean? How does that affect us? To know everyone is to know no-one. How does *that* affect us?

What you’ve suggest is more human, at least by current standards. I like it. The future however…
