Which leads to the inevitable question of what in gods name this garbage is doing on the front page of HN

Agreed @aaren, in todays fast pace life, its becoming alarmingly simple to lose touch with friends. IMHO if you work in startup, its even easier.

Without it we wouldn't have had this great debate about male friendships. Sure, the original article may very well be crap, but the resulting debate is not.

Perhaps it highlights a potential problem and a market that needs to be disrupted.
