Even when you're not in your 20s anymore this problem continues. That said, I'm much happier to learn from someone directly about some event, or directly invite friends to do something. I want to spend time with people who are socially active and it seems like those who are using social media to drive their social life are significantly more passive. We should keep friends like we used to, by sharing with them directly. In even a moderately-sized community we are never more than a step or two from everyone else, so networks of friends talking is more than enough to tell everyone about a cool event or party. I'm afraid that people forget this and become so reliant on broadcast systems like Facebook that they forget to maintain the social fabric with direct communication.
