Us

It occurs to me that if an alien race were looking for other life forms by scanning our solar system, and the first bits of data they encountered were Tumblr, they’d probably be closer to really understanding us as a species than if they picked up, say, CNN, or BBC, or the Tonight Show, or some such…

It suspends the natural process by which old friends fall away over time, allowing them to build up endlessly, producing the social equivalent of liver failure. On Facebook, there is one kind of relationship: friendship, and you have it with everybody. You’re friends with your spouse, and you’re friends with your plumber.
