I am not quite sure what to make of it. It looks dead to me.

I don't mean to sound rude or condescending in any way when I say this, but I just want to know why I should use this over every other social network out there.

This is a good question. Social Networking seems to be the big buzz right now...but they are all the same in their differences...well to me

Unfortunately this site is still in it's early stages and it's using software that is still being developed. There's limited integration with other popular networks, so the chance of me flipping over is pretty much out the window until a more advanced version is released.

There's a few thousand sites like this out there, many are niche type sites targeting specific groups and they work quite well. To compete on a world scale (especially going up against Twitter as the site proclaims), it needs world class software, and unfortunately a free version of a microblogging software is not going to cut it.

Hope to see some improvements for the future. Everyone has to start somewhere, I just think starting out with a limited budget and setting your sights on Twitter and Facebook is a quick way to become discouraged.

I waited a good 20 seconds and the site wouldn't even load for me?
