The internet has made made it easier for us to connect with each other but at the same time, its also changed the meaning, casual use and perception of the word "friend". Seth Godin did a talk on the "uselessness" of social networking, highlighting the fact that the relationships on social networks are meaningless unless they are "real". He posed the question, which one of your social network/internet friends would sign a 100k contract for you? Food for thought. Good points.

Here's a portion of the last email from them: PS: The Company will NOT approve any use of the Company trade name, or any trademark registered to the Company. Once the Company is notified of non compliancy: 1. The Website Owner, Business Builder or Broker in violation will have his/her website turned OFF. 2. All rebates / commissions will be frozen. 3. A Certified Letter will be sent to the address on file. 4. Website Owner, Business Builder, or Broker will have 14 days from receipt of Certified Letter to notify and verify the situation at hand has been remedied; failure to respond within the allotted 14 day timeframe will result in involuntary termination. 5. Upon successful notification and verification the situation at hand has been remedied; the Website Owner, Business Builder, or Broker must pay a $99 reactivation fee prior to website being turned ON; and 6. That Website Owner, Business Builder, or Broker will involuntarily terminate for any additional violations of the Company's Zero Tolerance Policy.

I think that the strength of connections is around REAL connections. If I say someone is my "friend" I mean it (with similar categories as yours). So if you see someone who is listed as my friend (on Facebook, LinkedIn) and you want an introduction to that person for some reason, you can feel confident that I know this person in some way that is not totally random and that I can give you some background and facilitate a meaning introduction. If I know that someone is adding people randomly, I learn not to trust their connections and therefore, the value of them as a connector is completely lost. The only exception to this for me is Twitter. I do follow people there that I don't know, but only if it looks like they are talking about or interested in something that we both have in common. But then there are times (like when I met you, Dave) when a relatively random Twitter connection turns into an actual friendship (professional or personal). I agree with you.
