PACIFIC NEWS -- Aug 26 -- Friendster, MySpace, Xanga and Facebookare supposed to keep friends connected, but I see people with about 100
plus "friends." Do they actually know these people? One thing I've
noticed about the blogs and personal profiles people post online is how
open people are. The friendships I've created in the real world have
slowly drifted into blog form. Conversations are short, to the point,
and can be edited with the click of a mouse. What's next, catching up
on old times at an online bar with virtual drinks? I recommend a
support group for this sort of thing. No one should be a flaming addict
alone with their computer at 1 in the morning. Nothing good comes out
of that, except maybe delusional flashes. FULL ARTICLE @ PACIFIC NEWS

Mark Brooks:
We should remember, online community is indeed 'virtual.' Nothing will
ever touch 'face-to-face.' The internet is a great vehicle for
managing relationships, even initiating them, but some brow time is
needed for real, spiritually uplifting relationships.
