"When your friend posts something and you get to engage with it, it might inform you and entertain you. But you also, if you interact with it, you're building a relationship with that person or you feel closer to that person, and that is a really important part of what social networking is supposed to do.” ~Mark Zuckerberg
re·la·tion·ship

synonyms: connection, relation, association, link, correlation, correspondence, parallel, alliance, bond, interrelation, interconnection
I suppose Mark’s definition of a relationship is accurate if you confine the action to a database but I fail to see how interacting with a post on Facebook translates to a relationship in real life.
