DISQUS

- | Out of curiosity, do you feel lonely browsing websites without your friends or do you prefer surfing solo? | -

My friends exist in open and closed spaces, some more often than not out of a need to hide their interests and their fetish values. We, verb have been "outed".

Our employers and community demand it of us.

- | Rather than just interacting with the website we are going to start interacting with both strangers and friends that are viewing the site. | -

This comment astounds me. We are and we have for more than a decade. Are you trying to influence others to believe that Facebook and any other application holds or makes this possible ? If anything it's narrowed interaction and learning via networked connectivity.

- | My response to the question: are we moving on from traditional social networking? Yes! Is social networking doomed? No. | -

My response to your answer: YOU are moving away from social networking and eliminating brilliant writers who are enabling the democracy of the web. Social networking is doomed if YOU Rick refuse to broaden your perspectives, include open-to-web aps. whilst YOU retain and build platforms that re-perpetuate the malpractice of courting arid bling-bling in a walled garden.

WE are doomed if you continue to speak of applications and monetization of human interaction in rows along one rolling wave......foam spitting and sharks circling ready for those falling off.

There is a 'traditional' social networking already?? I prefer surfing solo.
