When musing about old friends, lost contacts, colleagues, social networks and the much expanded Dunbar’s number , I realized the new reality of our digital lives: Time is an enemy of relationships.

In some ways I think social networks makes us think of the future vs. the present – all this talk of Whuffie and social capitalism – has many people building their networks not to connect with real friends but ‘friends’ that serve a purpose. Time is only an enemy of relationships when they are built on weak foundations.
