Facebook_can_be used for real social networking but that's up to the individual to take the initiative. Even on something like Couchsurfing where the sole purpose is offline interaction, I'm sure a large chunk of members have never couchsurfed...

Now you are really showing the world the way! But I always knew you would.Didn't know when you would put your ideas into reality though.With people like you leading ,people who have a vision and an open mind just draw the best minds automatically to the project .Great step in the right direction.One step at a time.

Though, I have to agree that concepts referred to on the Social network portability mailing list would be a welcome addition to advance socio-digital rights of users, and initiatives like Google's Open Social will help content providers to reduce lock-in in terms of applications (however, users won't necessarily migrate just because they can suddenly bite virtual necks on the network next door...) For me, a "real" social network would have to be a combination of online and offline lives and personas, definitely one that promotes person-to-person interactions, ultimately face-to-face and not just endless hours of online jabbering (and in a NON-dating site sense). I see this as potential killer application in places like Finland where despite the cell phone coverage people still don't mesh with as much ease as elsewhere. Within the three years I've been involved in web-based social communities as a heavy user and volunteer, CS still takes the first place in the quality of interactions and the community - but it's probably clear for the other commentors why it's no longer possible to for me to advocate it as the ultimate solution :P I believe it might very well be the next big step for the web: transferring the capability of the web to also network people in real life (in which the mainstream non-hospitality people are far behind us for example ;) I was virtually there for the grabbing, so thumbs up (what else :)

Rather than "real world" versus "online", I see "real" social networks are networks which are truly social. By that, I mean networks where users own their own data. Where users can choose to change platform, company or network, and retain their existing connections, relationships, trust, and interactions. In that sense, I think most current social networks are not "real". Sounds nice.
