Some people of my acquaintance have so many spouses, former spouses, partners, associates, crushes, children, in- and out-laws that they need their own social networking support sites just to keep on top of it all …

Good rant.
Note that there are some online networks (I’m thinking Geni) that let you make it very explicit who is related to whom; so much for “mother’s maiden name” as a password.
I’m sure some 24 year old product manager shrugs and says “you’re not my target demographic” and “it’s complicated”.

B-b-but, I can be a part of a Mob! Who cares about marriage when I can be an Internet gangster? Don’t try to destroy my little online world, Mordaxus, or I’ll have to talk to Shostack and find out where you live. Maybe I’ll just ask around a couple websites. ;)

God forbid you have children and want to link them to you too. Social sites are getting dumber, not smarter.
