Social networking: better or worse than the real thing?

Was your life easier or harder? simpler or more complex? before these social networks came around. This site (http://reseller.co.nz/reseller.nsf/opin/4CEF3701008B4975CC25744D00820AE8) lists the top 10 social networking annoyances. One being "Multiple Social Network Syndrome", so what that is telling me is in this day and age not only are we suffering from regular syndromes like ADD and Multiple personality BUT we also have to add this MSNS syndrome. Social networks have taken over our lives and it seems like more and more people have resorted to alienating others in exchange for some online chit chat instead of the real thing. We can argue that this is a negative thing but we can also say it is positive in many ways. While at the same time these networks can increase our number of friends, they also can have deadly exposure.
