However, I don't agree that you cannot make an equal amount of friends on social networks. You simply need to invest more in it. Read people's profiles, learn about them, get to know them by contacting them, commenting on their posts, etc. I think that perhaps people are just not used to making the same kind of effort on the social networks as they make when reading blogs.
