There seems to be some thought that Mudcat is a social networking site. It actually bears no relationship to Facebook, MySpace, or whatever. It's really more like a bulletin board. Why should we try to be a social networking site? All of my experiences with them tell me they are an incredible waste of time.

How is having a "share this thread" button going to make the tone around here nicer? I'm sure we'll add some nice folks, but we'll add as many jerks.

I don't really care if anyone sends a thread to Facebook, unless they start sharing political threads with a million ditto heads who all come here to pile on.
