If you are on the extrovert side of the spectrum it may make sense to become an even more connected super-node. And there may be economics of scale when doing everything online.

But if you are an introvert the cost of becomming a super-node may be too high for you personally. I take it that it doesn't suffice to just publish everything online (and 'everything' here appears to include everyday chatter). You have to reply to emails and friend requests and such.

I'm an introvert and I'm trying to become better networked here in LW but that is demanding already. I can't even imagine becoming or being a social center.
