...But me and all my (hipster|geeky|20-something) friends only communicate using a combination of Facebook, Twitter, and SMS! If it's not relevant within my inner circle of friends, then 'anyone who's anyone' doesn't care about it!

i hear what you're saying. however, i think it goes beyond that - the phenomenon of people's parents using facebook is widespread.

email, in a non-work context, has become a communications channel for low-value broadcast messages.
