Nothing personal, but I wouldn't consider any of those social networking 
sites to be remotely "serious". They're like the web-app equivilent of PHP - 
useless garbage. And just because they're popular doesn't mean they're not 
useless garbage - just look at any fad. They're the modern pet rock, and I 
hope they die out just as quick. (Again, nothing personal.)
