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.)
