However, I'm sure there are some apps with redeeming value (i.e.: Scabulous). Anyway, having a common site to maintain connections is extremely valuable. This is the underlying problem with the array of social sites out there. It's interesting to note that some of them are starting to align (Linkedin and Facebook, for instance).

But, like you said, the amount of time and thought we can dedicate to social events, silly groups, pictures, etc. decreases over time. So, as we get older and think more about our careers, finances, society and the environment, Facebook must evolve too or people must turn to other networks. Because I am interested in my career and social and environmental responsibility JustMeans is a great network for me and fills Facebook's gap. Thanks for commenting! Ashley Marcus,

One of things I wonder about is whether or not groups of people will outgrow Facebook. Perhaps at a certain stage in life the value that it provides becomes less? This starts to get a larger question of what value does Facebook provide people and whether people will care about that as they go through life. What do you think? Marcus Great post.

It is a good way to keep up with friends without emailing all the time. Maybe you should "grow-back" into Facebook! Kevin Ashley,

What do you think about the “News Feed” on facebook. It is a good way to keep up with friends without emailing all the time. Maybe you should “grow-back” into Facebook!
