Some excerpts: Knowing someone who is happy makes you 15.3% more likely to be happy yourself, the study found. A happy friend of a friend increases your odds of happiness by 9.8%, and even your neighbor's sister's friend can give you a 5.6% boost. ~~~ A happy friend who lives within a half-mile makes you 42% more likely to be happy yourself. If that same friend lives two miles away, his impact drops to 22%. Happy friends who are more distant have no discernible impact, according to the study. Similarly, happy siblings make you 14% more likely to be happy yourself, but only if they live within one mile. Happy spouses provide an 8% boost -- if they live under the same roof. ~~~ "Although we are connected with friends and family members who live far away via cellphone and the Internet, these results indicate that there is nothing like a face-to-face interaction," Oishi said.

Many forms those have been developed now, like twitter, plurk, facebook, multiply, blogger, myspace, friendster, yahoo messenger, skype, they're all just components, because I believe there will be some forms of social networking that will be built on the basis of all these models through an evolution that will transform the way we, human beings, interact to each other in the future.
Here's the link to my plurk. I update my plurk, twitter, and facebook, via ping.fm so they'll all be updated in a snap. Plurking, anybody? :)
