This guy sounds like a very cliche anti-social geek. What does he do outside of work? What gallery openings? What gigs? What social walks? I'm guessing that if you're not sociable, then a social orientated website is of no value.
It could be said that there's a lot of rubbish out there on facebook, and sites like meetup.com, last.fm, eventful, flickr are much better, but they don't have anything that ties them all together like facebook actually does.
The solution is not to stick your head in the sand, and ignore human interactions. You can't convieniently go 'humans, do this. I don't like it. I'm going to ignore them all'
Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing what the Diaspora approach evolves into:
