When will we stop using Facebook?

Eh, I remember the days of trying to keep in touch via email, and not getting replies, or feeling bad that I wasn't sending a reply. Just to keep in general contact, with no specific goal in mind. I don't look forward to going back to them.

Facebook has become something of a "Third Place," in this respect.

if people don't reply to your emails, maybe that says a lot about how much they care about you.

Exactly? I'm talking about a situation where we both care exactly at a "casual Facebook friend" level. Like we would meet up if we were in the same town at the same time, but we aren't writing emails back and forth about what has happened lately. And that is great, IMHO.

Or maybe it says nothing about that -- but more about their email patterns, work stress, guilt, etc.
