…I mean, that’s pretty much exactly how I use things like Twitter and Facebook already: add to my Friends list only people I know, and then view exclusively the feeds for the posts that I’ve made, generally ignoring everything/everyone else and relying exclusively on e-mail notifications to see when someone on my Friends list posts something.
I suppose it sounds pretty sad, but I have plenty of in-person interactions with my family — and I prefer other methods of communication (largely IRC) for interacting with my friends — so, eh. It’s not that bad for me. :p

It’s already in place: they’re called Blogs. More than you can count, and the “news” is full of them.

Disconnected internet. It’s sounding better already.

Thus Jason misses the point of the internet. People use it just to MAKE the ignorant comments. You take that away, what’s left for them to do?
A better idea is to do what I do, and just not really get into social media at all.
