She lives alone, yet is alert, dynamic and fun to chat with. She spend most of her days alone reading books. It makes me sad to know that she missed the generation whereby the majority of folks her age will interact in a continuous global conversation and that their mental health remains happy and connected as a result of this "social networking future". For now, she looks forward to the few minutes a day she gets to hang out with my kids or chat with us and the other folks in the 'hood.

I've often thought that it would be so much easier to have just one profile and password to get into any group -- so much less confusing (and less schizophrenic). And, yes, we do need a different name for social network. I'm sure you could come up with something way better, Francine!
