Your one-upmanship amuses me. Doesn't your profession involve developing for social networks? In regards to fragmentation, I wanted a place to connect with entrepreneurs who are doing interesting things with Twitter. To talk best-practices (business), network with founders of complimentary tools, connect contractors with jobs etc. That's not really the premise of this group.
In any case, please accept my apologies for muddying your stream. I didn't realize your authority on the matter. Let's move on.
