> Is the answer to build a new social network? No.
I don't see why not. Quite a few of my friends are leaving social networks these days, mostly due to the lack of a specific purpose. I.e too much non sense. So I can totally see hooking up to new social networks that have specific purposes that accommodate my needs. I don't have an immediate need for this one right now, but I'm not adverse to trying it should I come across a situation where I do.
I think that's going to be one of their hurdles. You're not going to hear of it and say "YES, I've always wanted to google stuff for people all day, let me download that!". You're going to wait until you have a question that you can't quite answer and then download it and ask, only to find out that out of your group of friend you're the first to hear of it AND have a question you can't google.
