People's blogs often have RSS.

Podcasting runs on RSS too, the problem is still that RSS doesn’t help discovery of content the way social networks do. And I have no idea how sharing virtual business cards (vCards) help either, they hurt anonymity in fact (unless you’re making anonymous ones with no real info in them.

Some people use social media to keep up with people they know in real life. Except for a few outliers, I'd say that was the primary use case before viral games like farmville encouraged the behaviour of friending as many people as you could.
