What a great presentation! I plan to pass along to quite a few people I know who will find this relevant and helpful in their jobs and specifically, nonprofits. As always, thanks for sharing and helping to keep the dialogue going!

Social networks focus on the number of friends the individual has and highlight the differences between individuals in such a factual form that it is no longer possible to "blend in" to society, you either "fit in" or you don't. There is no provision for partial anonymity, especially if they are not the one controlling the content and therefore a person can be more easily picked out and victimised both online and in person. I do find it odd that people refer to their 2,000 myspace "friends". I think this redefines the traditional meaning of friends. Certainly not the definition I am familiar with. Does this devalue the meaning of friendship? almost definitely. Does it lead to antisocial behavior, possible. As people dispense with their on line "friends" like used goods, so too may the dispense with real friends.
