whoa, this is exactly the motivation behind a current project (just posted a ShowHN thread actually!), centered around collaborative time capsules. One criticism we've come up against when we tell people we're interested in building an experience around social time capsules is that it's not consuming or addictive.

I'm optimistic in thinking that social services make it easier to connect, but I'm not sure many are designed primarily for true, intimate connections. A saying I do like though is that "Facebook is only as good as your friends list," so maybe at the end of the day it's still up to us as individuals to put forth the effort in creating meaning.
