Are you suggesting having a friends mailing list? That doesn't really work for a dynamic pool of people.

Are you suggesting having a friends mailing list? That doesn't really work for a dynamic pool of people.
- Spooky23 9y agoIt kind of says a lot for the influence of Facebook where suggesting that perhaps you shoot an email to a friend seems like an impractical thing to do.
- sverige 9y agoHeaven forfend suggesting making a phone call, which is how I keep in touch with friends. Real friends, that is.
- 83457 9y agoAre they real friends though if you only talk to them on the phone? I keep in touch with my friends in person by going to their door and knocking. Real friends that is.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoPshaw. I use a psychic connection. If you can't contact them psychically, how close are you really?
- EpicEng 9y agoWell my real friends live 1500 miles away, so yeah, phone it is.
- sverige 9y agoFriends since the 80s, have kept in touch all that time, live >1000 miles away. Real friends are those people with whom you can be yourself, who understand what you don't say as well as they understand what you do say.
- wpietri 9y agoThe suggestion was not to shoot an email to a friend. It was for continuously maintaining "an address list in email".
- freeflight 9y agoIt's nothing to do with "the influence of Facebook", it's to do with progress in usability and use case. If you just want to send a message to a friend then there are a myriad of ways to do that which neither involve email nor Facebook. If you boil it down to why people actually use Facebook, then Facebook is nothing but a fancier and comfortable version of "keeping a list of emails", just with very nasty side-effects.
