communication breakdown?

if anything, far from it. yesterday was my birthday - thank you all for the kind wishes - they were very much appreciated. but this leads me to my post today....all the different ways that we communicate today.

i've got a group of friends, the tech/gamer/geek group. i feel that the people in this group all have the same core interests - technology being a driving force behind it all. we are always getting involved in the latest social networks, adding in other as friends/coworkers/acquaintances.

i'll take one of my friends - tracy. she, on my birthday, managed to wish me happy birthday via:

Twitter
Facebook
SMS
Blackberry Messenger

Even though she had a phone in her hand for three of those, she didn't call (not that I wanted her to!). Kinda ironic.

I guess that I need to put some pictures up to make this a blog-worthy post - but don't have any here to make that happen, so I'll let that go till tonight.
