I've noticed that with social networks, people abandon something if something newer/better comes along. People left Friendster for MySpace and then MySpace for Facebook.

I'm waiting for the combo of YouTube, Twitter and Facebook that will be called:

I "friended" Virginia the old-fashioned way back in school. Bumped into her after 8 years and she couldn't remember who I was-and we were not "casual" acquaintances at all. So I'm not all that surprised she forgot she had used the same source after 6 months. She always was a tad self-involved.

Apparently the blowjob is still an appropriate credential for a journalist at the New York Time editorial desk... because I can't see the evidence of any actial writing or investigative talent in this piece.

And who said "old journalism" was dead?

The moral of the story is that it only takes ONE genius PR a-hole to trumpet that a new and improved social networking site is the coolest, latest thing, and therefore better than Jesus. Then watch Facebook slink into oblivion a la Friendster, Myspace.

PS: @Viriginia Heffernan-- "Spontaneous bursts of being".. Barf! Please use words to communicate meaning, that's their actual purpose.

Thank Christmas her profile pic is her in a greenhouse (?) with her kid. If she used the pic above, I would have been bamboozled.

So basically you're saying she writes columns using those magnetic words you stick on your refrigerator?
