I'll admit that I'm not really into so-called social networking sites, whose distinguishing factor is the collection of "friends" and some access by others to the resulting social graph. Don't get me wrong, the social graph is an important tool, but I don't think we have found the sweet spot for this yet. And yes, these sites have discussion groups and the like, but those have been around for years in one form or another. One of the main issues I have is that our relationships are a reflection of interaction, not the result of claiming we have a relationship. So, it's probably pretty predicatable that I agree with Don Dodge when he says that email contacts are the natural social network.
