All of the above.
With the proviso that - safe and selective as it may be - I have little interest in non-face, techno relationships that don't eventually and periodically cross the line to IRL.
To the extent the tech can add a wonderful dimension of inner thought sharing and other communications not usually found in face-time social settings ... I think it's a wonderful newish component of friends-and-lovership. By itself, however, I think it's a poor substitute.
And when I'm dead, I want all my posts and profiles and live journal entries erased.
