After reading your comment I think I should have mentioned about online persistent chat tools as well.

And never mind about the formatting :) Take care.

There are other use cases for me, like: - mass-messaging, like I wanted to ask all of my (relevant) "friends" (acquaintances?) about something. It's a lot easier to write a question, memento, anything once, instead of CC-ing to tons of addresses - "meeting" new people. You can't do that on email, maybe only on some concept-oriented mailing list. And I don't want all of my new acquaintances to know my email. I don't want to mail them. Maybe later, when I know them a bit better. - finding old acquaintances, like ex-classmates, teammates. You can ask around at mutual friends for phone numbers, mail addresses, of course, but not always. A social web can help in this one. - doing all this at one place. This is important for me, I don't like using more tools than required. </p> <p>I'm not a social web fan, of course :) But they can be useful/fun sometimes.</p> Great post, and I agree with everything you said, except for one thing: email/im vs. social sites.
