A Walk through the Mailbox

I started in a quest for a single old mail to fetch a mail id. I went through mails in my yahoo mailbox. Was surprised that Arrange by From does A-Z first and then a-z again. Anyways I scrambled through my mail box and read some of my old mails. A walk down the memory lane to the college days.

College was when I used that yahoo mail that frequently. And such a lot of mais to the college groups. There were so many chain mails. But now the group seems almost suspended with a rare mail or two getting dropped in.

In orkut there is a community for the our batch and that community seems the most inactive. Iam part of another community where almost all are unknown. But still freely chat with those people in some threads, or discuss things with those unknown people. But in my college community we know a majority, but still its just too silent.

What do we start a thread with and who will respond to it. So everyone remains silent. If we do want to chat with someone then add them as friend and chat instead of chatting through the group etc., But why isnt there any group activity that we could do together while we can interact well with a totally new community.

Is there a problem with our Relationship quotient or is it just that people dont want to interact thrrough a group where others would also know them.
