Well, I've lived in Europe all my life and haven't ever kept in touch with (or even remembered) a single random person I've talked to (and that's usually about which bus goes where and stuff like that).

Meeting people is still a friend-of-a-friend thing/parties, or a common interest thing. Or alternatively trying to pick up a date. At least that's how it's been around me and frankly I wouldn't want the signal-to-noise ratio of listening to or talking to strangers in the streets.

The amount of people you know/talk to being all that important is also something that doesn't quite click with me, closest thing it resembles is facebook with its frends of friends and walls of text with random notes by people you don't really care all that much about to follow their everyday life.

I'm fine with having 2-3 really close friends and a couple more people from class/work to meet up with (outside of said class/work) and chat with occasionally. I really don't have the time for more.
