It's fine to have social media that connects us with old friends, but we need tools that help us discover new people as well.

We live in a world where many of us have a lot of friends on Facebook but yet we have lost human connection.

We are already seeing the creation of a new kind of network based on friendships: Startups, which are often founded by friends, are the beginning of something that could reshape social relations.

Social networking helps reach people easier and quicker.

People started conceiving of their friends as networking tools, like, 'Friend me so you can be friends with someone else,' or, 'The more people you know, the more networked you are.' But we see real value in having a fun conversation with your friends.

Whether via social media or in person, building your relationships is a long-term process, and the ultimate goal is to strengthen your network one person at a time.

I have a tremendous network of friends and colleagues at other firms.

People care about others in their immediate network.

I had 60,000 friends on MySpace.

I grew up with a computer, and many of my friends were people I met online.
