If the platforms draw this kind of distinction – here's a place for “real” friends, here's a place for new contacts – then the right expectations will be set up for users, and there will be less awkwardness (and more interaction of the kind you're hoping for in both personal & professional scenarios).

I love Twitter too, and the reason I think it works so well is that I know what to expect from it. Facebook is more murky at this point.

I do think we are evolving our ability to function in larger social networks, but I still think there is a limit. For example, I personally delete about 20 "friends" every three months or so from Facebook, because I like to keep that a place for real social interaction with people who I actually communicate with face to face or over the phone. Or at least have in the past. I love Twitter though because I can follow someone who I have never spoken to in person. There are ups and downs to this new social media influx, but I am a proponent of the new ways. Probably because I have grown up with social media as part of my everyday life. To say this is good or bad is still debatable. Erica, I really enjoy your blog immensely.

I'm not sure that we're evolving the ability - I think that in the main we're just getting better at outsourcing some of the tracking of weak ties to external systems (software, online networks, etc.). In either case, I think that the phenomenon you've identified is definitely real, and a pretty interesting one too. Nice post Erica.

This actually solves a problem I've been working on. It explains the real reason social media works.
