In the digital age we all have a multitude of options for communication. It can be inferred that there is a kind of "Contact Hierarchy" and "Contact Continuum" as not all modes hold the same weight with communication ranging from 1-10.
Hierarchy of contact in 2010 as defined by this contributor:
1. Face to face
2. Telephone
3. Personal Letter
4. SMS, BBIM
5. Email
6. Personal message eg FB
7. Instant Message eg FB, MSN
8. Wall postings, comments
8. "Like," "Poke"
9. Nil contact.
10. Active blocking of contact.
Note: Higher order = increased responsiveness.
A more serious and/or important matter or message would attract a higher order of communication, with the top order being face to face. There are so many ways to communicate, the options are greater than ever before. But is all modes of communication the same, and attracting the same weight of force? Therefore there is a hierarchy. This may vary per user, but there is a hierarchy.

Hierarchy of Contact refers to how the more important the message or reason to communicate, or the person to communicate with, the higher in the order that communication would be. Conversely, less important is therefore lower.
Example, you really need to speak with someone about something serious, you want to face to face with them. If its not serious at all, you might make a posting on their social network wall.
At the end of the hierarchy is active blocking, where someone deliberately refuses any mode of contact.

Get the Hiral mug.The beautiful Arabic name for girls originating from the Cave Hira, located on the very mountain of light on which the Holy Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammed(peace be upon him) in city of Makkah.
People say a girl of this name develops a personality that glows bright and lights up any room or gathering she attends. She is outgoing, super friendly and lively but also the warmest, comforting, sanctuary like the cave she was named after.
Hiras can get hurt easily when people don't reciprocate because she pours her 100% in her relationships and can't understand what she has done "wrong".
She is forgiving and considerate of everyone and bounces back from her low points with time. Hiras are quite logical like that, having a strong growth mindset, believing in love not hate.
Although she may have serious trust issues because of people who have taken advantage of her innocent and generous nature.
She is also pretty fearless, passionate, loyal, fun-loving, and adventurous. Some may call her child-like but those people are just the boring old farts.
Sometimes she takes her love of humor, jokes, and puns too far and ends up hurting people or her image.
Last but not least Hira is an intelligent, multi-talented Jill-of-all-trades. Her taste and personality can be very flexible and versatile and gets frustrated with those who aren't or don't want to try.
