For me, the 'net is a godsend. I can be social in a way I can handle, and am not driven to try to create and maintain "real life" relationships for lack of any other option. My marriage apart, I have not had good luck with "real life" relationships, and I'm quite sure the fault is mine. Still- it don't work.
The 'net does keep me involved with people I care about, and tends to pull me out of my shell about as much as i want to get pulled out.

I think it's good. For me, anyway. :)
