Updates and tweets and online meets.. This is all left with us because here we can connect ...we can talk and we can share.. But our traditional modes of friendship have changed.. We go out and socialize with etiquettes and say sweet hi hellos to all we meet.. We more or less do our branding and marketing.. But where is that TRUE friendship? Is it lost??
For all who think there is an answer in between no and yes that is like "up to some extent" or anything similar.. Please come on the closest side and share your view..

Even I think it is the case upto certain extent.. we barely get time to meet or sit and talk to anyone but it is an easy option to ping someone and say hi.. When there is something like help which we need things change.. We can't ping anyone anytime and say "I need help" and that is the worst thing ever..

i think the age of social networking has brought friends much more closer than ever..we shouldnt be pessimist about it..i remember my discussion with my mother about the same topic where she was more in favour of this era as during her time she barely could contact her bygone friends of school or college. whereas we people should thank this new era..we are able to contact anyone and everone with just one click..one more thing earlier we were rarely aware about how our friends look now..sending marriage pictures or latest pictures seemed to be a tedious job(and i rememeber how the post office use to work in those times..:)))..what is going on there lives..but today we even know what is the latest happening in the life of our beloved friends..and yes if you think that some social networking site is going to hamper the TRUE FRIENDSHIP than i dont really agree with that point as nothing in this world will ever hamper your true friendship ..it will remain true with or without the social networking era.

It is true that, the social networking has changed the meaning of friendship, now you can re-name it as connection or follower.Friendship is the relation of HEARTS,but yet I personally appreciate this social networking side as I got back huge number of connections with my number of school and college days FRIENDS

Friendship is a feeling which never changes but due to this social networking it changes its way of expression. Previously we meet and share everything with our friend but today due to time constraint or due to dependency on internet we share our emotions through twitter, facebook, orkut etc. It helps to get in touch with the friends but in this process we involve so much that we are able to make our distant relation closure and some way ignore our closure relation which is a demerit of this.

Thanks Leena 4 invite

Yes today, people don't have time even for friends to go out and meet him/her personally.

Just writing on his wall / scrap or chatting with him/her are the new characteristics of friendship or say e-friendship.

But in fact, the human being is left alone with no friends persnoanlly around, though making more and more virtual friends on sociall network

Hi Im Arunmozhi Veerana Theavan MBA Student. Friends who are telling NO for this debate, actually does'nt know the meaning for frendship. On the way to our office or college we may meet many people some body speak to as and to somebody we give response, But we never consider them as our Friend. The same is with these Social networks. Infact there are some good outcomes but mostly end with tragedy and it will surely affect psychology of the people and the relationship with the real time friends.

Yes Leena, Definitely. Agree with you. But in case of dire need of friends, any alternative to face-2-face meetings will have no impact. Twitting, updates on fB, has its own limitations. Expressing 100% personal feelings is nearly impossible without meeting in person. NJ'oy

Yes it has changed the meaning of friendship. Many people have Online friends they never met or may even meet in their life. Look at us. We are a part of a network but don't know mch abt each other. Social networking also helps stay in tch in modern day's busy lifestyle.

Its not only friendship but the value of every human attribute from

Love,

Truth,

Ethics,

Commitment,

Passion

has more or less lost its true meaning. I guess rather than crying about it or blaming each other, the best we can do is make sure we don't change to how the world is changing.

Life has lost its peace. Competition has replaced every priority in a kids life :).

@ some extent.

As friendship is nothing

but the sharing of your

emotions/views,to your

closer person (friend ).

& we are doing the same

thing @some extent here

on TOOSTEP, as today's

world haven't left any

better option than this.

(TOOSTEP).

This is the enhancement in the concept of

'Pen- Friend'.

Through social networking, people can use networks of online friends and group memberships to keep in touch with current friends, reconnect with old friends or create real–life friendships through similar interests or groups. Besides establishing important social relationships, social networking members can share their interests with other like–minded members by joining groups and forums. Some networking can also help members find a job or establish business contacts.

Not exactly, i think social networking brings friends more closer. Its more comfortable to request for friendship on internet, instead face-to-face.
