Psyh Chat--well said--I agree. Thank you for your post. This site is more in depth, more personal, and more helpful (for me) than any other I have visited. Why is that? What works about this site?--great questions which I think your post sheds light on.

> Maybe some people liked the way this community was because it was untouched by social networking. Lot's of heavy discussion going on here. People may have also felt some sense of safety here w/o it being connected to the social networks?

> Facebook and Twitter are tools for superficial communications. I see a lot of deep, personal dialogue here, but not on those sites. Yes, they are new methods of communication, but are they adding utility to anything at all? And they may be just a fad and go out of style just as quickly as they appeared...I can see the technology being useful for many things..but for social relationships, support--no, just don't see it.
