But this can change, and it will. Social networking will be reordered around the context or cause by which we have connected and away from defining relationships directly - for instance, by having thousands of Facebook friends. And the therapeutic community that we entered into last week will be better sustained by harnessing the power of mobile social media to restore real-life context to our online ties, foster deeper bonds with others, and share new opportunities to interact and collaborate, based on what we've been through together.

In particular, we yearn for this greater belonging today because the richness of our relationships is ironically lost on social networks. We are "friends" or "not friends," and easily forget who's who and how we are connected. We have connectivity, but lack context, continuity, and community. We are "alone together," as MIT psychologist Sherry Turkle has put it.

With the same resolve as we disseminated information and expressed solidarity last week, we can use the power of technology to stay connected and take a few more steps forward together.
