The social networking site Facebook is all about friends: you add as many friends as possible, you comment on each other’s pictures, you post funny messages on each other’s wall, .... It is entertaining for a while, but you could wonder if it is really meaningful.
For Louis van Dievel Facebook has become irrelevant: you have hundreds of friends, without really knowing most of them. Of course, Facebook offers the ideal opportunity to get in touch with old school friends, old colleagues ... In a nutshell: people you have not seen in years. But, what then? What is the next step after adding them as friends? You post something on each other’s wall, or send some kind of message to each other. And in most cases, that is about it, you do not really do anything more to revive these old friendships.
When it comes to friends at present, the same thing happens: contacts on Facebook remain rather shallow. Occasionally, you send a virtual birthday card, or you answer each other’s post, but after some time you forget about it, or at some point you do not have anything more to say. As a result some people don’t think it is worth anymore to be on Facebook, and they quit.
Though this might be just a temporal farewell:
