A thought-provoking post. Today, I and an old high school friend found a long-lost (and often thought-of) friend from ELEMENTARY school on Facebook. Can they say that we’re less connected because of these? I’ve seen more of my nephews life than I ever would have previous to Social Networking as well.)

And I like the irony of politicians such as Al Gore bemoaning the lack of rational discourse about politics, ha ha.

Thanks,
Beth

I really like the thoughts on passive vs. active and participatory. And I love the closing that updating your FB status will be more socially responsible than reading the NY Times. Not sure I like it, but it's making me think right now :) This is a great post, Dave. I really like the thoughts on passive vs. active and participatory.
