Facebook - virtual relationship?

I sign in to Facebook NOT because it is a hit, only that one of the company cell group members have researched and tried to open a private discussion forum there and required all of us in the group to register.

Once in, how come those familiar faces have already been there for some time?!

You will start wonder whether you really know them again. Suddenly you have thousands of hugs, invitations to reply, pets to feed, races to participate, fun videos to share, gifts to send and receive, paintings and art items to collect, music to show your taste, film reviews and the films themselves to watch...

Start out as a simple social network, it quickly becomes a social burden.

Will those who do not join Facebook or similar network like Friendsters be left out from link? Even I am in the network, I do not feel that I really know some of my friends well. After all, acquaintance and knowledge have certain difference.

We talk about virtual relationship again. Before you virtually "mass-hug" your friends, call them out one by one and tell them directly how you appreciate their friendship.
