    • I am sorry, but I do not see the point... When decide to use Facebook, then I do and when I decide to use Twitter, then I do. Why do these companies think that people want vertical, horizontal, reverse, forward and side by side integration of social networking platforms??? Isn't the reason there are choices so that one can decide to close one program, then open a distinctly different one, and why shouldn't they remain off limits to XYZ social networking platform?

      Have they run out of ideas? So, now they want to open doors to every piece of Civilian networking software on the web to be their mission? Sounds like a plan... A piss poor plan, but a plan none the less.
