The power of positive win-win relationships has been overlooked for the ego boost of quantity. Sure, it takes more time to build a strong connection but one well worth the effort.

You have explained the reasons well. You asked for other reasons. One is the happiness that comes from real friendship. I re-tweeted your blog post yesterday. Thanks for bringing this issue to the attention of your readers. My recent post <a href="http://relatingonline.com/archives/721" rel="nofollow">Interdependence vs. Independence Reconsidered</a> David,

Your post is dear to my heart, because it is the mission of my blog to "Turn Friends and Followers Into Real Relationships."

You have explained the reasons well. You asked for other reasons. One is the happiness that comes from real friendship.

I re-tweeted your blog post yesterday. Thanks for bringing this issue to the attention of your readers.

You asked for "other reasons." I believe that deep relationships are inherently valuable, per se. We are, after all, social creatures, and we do love to love and be loved. The issue of depth in social media relationships is the main theme of my blog: <a href="http://RelatingOnline.com" rel="nofollow">http://RelatingOnline.com</a>. Like Brent, I agree that quality relationships with "Friends" "Followers" and "Connections" are more valuable and more likely to produce real networking results. My work in social media is focused on "Turning Friends and Followers into Real Relationships." However, there is another side to the issue that Sociologist Granoveter called, "The Strength of Weak Ties." Close friends tend to know the same people and things we know. The concept is explained in my blog post:: <a href="http://relatingonline.com/archives/266" rel="nofollow">http://relatingonline.com/archives/266</a> My recent post <a href="http://relatingonline.com/archives/721" rel="nofollow">Interdependence vs. Independence Reconsidered</a> David,

I still fall into the more is better rut every now and then; it can be a temporary ego boost when I look at other people and see that I have more Twitter followers, LinkedIn connections, circles or Facebook friends. Of course I know that's wrong because it's in the quality of the connection that the real value of social networking occurs. Thank you for commenting, keep up the excellent work!

We talk about quality over quantity all the time, and then ignore it trying to see how many fans and followers we can get. One of the biggest benefits of social media is supposed to be its viral potential, but when all we collect is a large audience of strangers with nothing in common, how inclined are they to share anything and so the viral benefit is lost. Too many people want immediate gratification - I want 10,000 close connections today - but that's impossible, so instead of accepting that and building relationships one at a time, they decide to collect 10,000 strangers and pretend they have a relationship with them.
