Github doesn't "quack" or "look like" a social network. (unless you have
a ridiculous broad definition of "social network": one that would
encompass anything from forums, IRC, and email accounts)
Github has no notion of friends/contacts/circles like social networks.
At most you can follow a person, and have followers, but that is a very
peripheral feature, that as far as I know, not that many people use.
It's not a *core tenet of Github*, and if it was taken away from the
site today, I think people would barely notice.
