Have you ever started a conversation like this?
"Hey, do you know A & B are getting married? I just saw that on Facebook today!"
or
"Hey, do you know C had already gave birth to her first child? I saw her photos on Facebook"
or
"D & E just broke up recently... I saw their relationship status"
or.... The list just goes on and on. I bet anyone of you must have some conversation that is somewhat similar to one of these mentioned.
A few of my friends were talking the other day, feeling the same thing about how bad it feels when your good friend, though not the closest and not the bestest friend, decided to announce their "ROM" or "wedding banquet" or "engaged status" through networking websites. We would like to be informed with the good news, even with an email or just a simple sms would do, it just feels more personal. We don't really bother if we're not invited, as a lot of time we're so far away from home, it could be inconvenient. But we really want to share the good news.
Lately, Chun Sin had just asked us out to have a lunch gathering, to announce to us her wedding on March next year. We're so excited for her, we started "wedding planning" on the spot like nobody business. I really appreciate that she announced to us, personally.
All of us, felt the simple joy for her.
Maybe all the networking website had taught us how to forget a bit of personal touch. So friends out there, please, if you are getting married, at least send me a text, I'll be jumping with joy for you!

Can't be helped I guess...since it's so convenient. :P But still, I agree that important things like weddings or childbirth should be communicated in a more personal manner on top of through social networking sites.
I think social networking sites is great at letting not-so-close friends to keep in touch, really close friends typically don't rely on just social networking sites to keep in touch after all, right?
i agree with you that networking websites are good for not-so-close friends to keep in touch with each others. I do have friends whom experienced their kinda-closed friends just "announced" their ROM through FB that makes them felt very sien. hahaha...

will try to fix it.. thanks for reminding!
