Keep in mind that the dynamic argument also applies to the information that you give out and the content that you create which I think is even more important.

Keep in mind that the dynamic argument also applies to the information that you give out and the content that you create which I think is even more important. For example, in traditional relationships, the closer you are to someone the more they know about you. Your parents probably know many things about you that your wife/husband and your best friends don't know. Your wife/husband knows things about you that your best friends don't know. Your best friend knows things about you that your friends don't. Your friends know things about you that I don't know. And it goes on and on... This feature of traditional relationships is extremely important and valuable to me. If you get out of touch with someone, their knowledge of you gets outdated. As you become more intimate with someone, they learn more and more about you. So there's a natural self-adjusting and dynamic layer and hierarchy to traditional relationships that keeps everyone sane and allows for longevity of relationships. Social networks throw everyone in the same bucket. Granted they provide you with tools to try and manage the mess like the circles and lists. But that is not really dynamic and to me is very unattractive, imperfect and time consuming. I'm not willing to spend hours managing my social network. Traditional relationships take care of themselves.
