Is Facebook Killing the Conversation?

I visited with some friends over the weekend and went to tell them about the happenings of my life, but they already knew about it. I'd been excited at the time and tweeted it, which in turn, placed it on Facebook. So what did I have to talk about? After all, much of their news, I'd read on Facebook.

Thus the question...Is Facebook Killing the Conversation?

Or is it creating it...by forcing us to bring more to the table?

Maybe Facebook has simply removed (not killed) the small-talk of life. Maybe this is forcing us to do what we should have always done with our relationships, delve deeper into what really matters. Stop talking so much about what is going on on the outside of our lives, and what is happening inside.

Facebook isn't killing the conversation, it's removing small talk from our close friends. It's something that should have been taken care of a long time ago.
