A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Good point! I suspect it's a lot more than we think. My parents are definitively still involved in doing this.
But on the other hand, does exchanging contacts mean anything to Facebook anymore? I don't think that's important to their income stream anymore. If the OP meant "these sites are still going strong but aren't what they were when they began", then of course I agree.
I was never much into the Facebook thing because I didn't join it at its peak, but when already most people I would have connected stopped using it.
But I remember there was a time where when you met someone and wanted to stay in contact you exchanged the facebook info.
Nowdays its Line.
I don't think I have any social media I ask for when I meet someone besides their number (and hopefully they are using Signal 😎)
Signal is the way to go :)
Isn't like a Japanese thing? I only have heard about it in anime.
Japan, and larger Asian area, I think Korea, Taiwan too.
