Social media need not be an unnatural way to connect with your friends and family. Life and social media can co-exist without affecting one another. All your friends are not the same in real life. Social media makes it seem so. MyStatus helps you to post relevant statuses to relevant trust circles.
Keep your close friends closer, keep your so-so friends far away. You can control where each person stands.
Whatever you say to your friends, gets lost in an hour or days if not stored somewhere. So why should social media become a bible of your life. All posts are transient and gets expired after the minutes/hours/days that you set.
