Good observations. Yup railing against facebook prevents us from thinking up ways of connecting and growing connection. Key point is they are seeking connection. So connect. When you are at work/school/have stuff going on in life, you have a lot more to talk about than if there is nothing going on. If no one is writing anything, beyond simple games seeking connection, its probably because there is nothing interesting going on at home. So spark something. If there is no activity on both sides of a connection, the connection decays. It takes things happening on both sides to keep the connection healthy and alive. You write if no one else is. Write and tell them what you have been upto/make a plan to work together everyday on something etc. Write and tell them what writing of theirs you miss. Connection will automatically re-energize.
