Yeah Beechnut, this was the prototype of social media. Its what social media started as... people with similar interest convening on forums. Meanwhile people not interested were emailing their friends instead.

Social Media like Facebook and Twitter, and others made it so that people could connect with anybody they know...or many they don't know.

The conversation changed from....Do you like my new song? Do you like my new craftwork? Has anybody here tried Vitamin D for arthritis? Why was Jesus weeping when Lazarous died? Political forums, Mutual interest topics etc (btw, we get most of that here as well)

To..... I'm going over to Jose Tejas for some burritos, will take pictures and post them as soon as the meal hits the table....

Basicly, it's changed from meeting new people online, to re-finding old people, and people u already know, to talk about your lives.

I'm guessing that facebook with all the, he knows u, so she knows him, and they know her, have created more "matches" than eharmony.com

A quick glance at all the divorced women on facebook, makes u think it would be alot easier getting a date from one of them who already knows u than a complete stranger

What happens though is if you are a songwriter, not everybody u know is a songwriter. In fact the vast majority of facebook friends are old classmates and co workers.

So u cant say. Here is my new lyric, let me know what u think....Cause it excludes most people on your list who don't care or have no idea what your even talking about

Some of my friends are sports junkies, some are poker and craps players, some are musicians, but almost none of them are songwriters, and the vast majority are married couples who are more concerned with their kids teeth growing in correctly, than they are analyzing your song

It's gone from specialty to universal, I guess is what I'm trying to say.
