I do not like to comment a lot on blog, yet! Maybe because I am not so used to it! But even Facebook, I use it to see what my brothers and sisters and the very close family members and friends are up to. They are all in different countries and Facebook make me feel that we are close. I rarely send them messages. When I comment I use one or two sentences. Well even with the phone, I do not visit on the phone. I use for a purpose but I do not spend hours on it. I do need the eye contact when I communicate.
I do belong to an online learning community. Part of my master degree at Oakland University is done through Moodle. I love it because Moodle is used to post homework and read each other work. Yet, we do meet once a month and we knew each other before starting "moodling". Besides, I enjoy Moodle because it has a specific academic purpose. If it was a tool to make friendship, I would not even think about it.

You make a great point about eye contact. For some people it is difficult to communicate if it is not face-to-face.
