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.
