using social media to organize real life.

Thoughts before bed last night:

The gap between social media tools and physical, social interaction is growing narrower, but there is still a dissonance when transitioning between a 2-d medium (even if it’s in real time) and the 3-d world.  I think that location-based mobile apps can start to bridge the gap, but how can we make that type of technology truly ubiquitous?  We use tech devices as reference or support while engaging with people physically, but will devices ever become as much a part of interaction as verbal conversation or physical interaction & body language?
