To each their own. No judging in internet land (ok, lots of judging in internet land)

Just like 2+2.
O wait... :-(
The idea behind the site is to profile social personalities and connect them to advertisers in similar fields. Advertisers can pay these personalities to tweet a message for them to a network of people who all have similar interests.
As an example, conquistador28's gf runs a very successful health and fitness blog, so naturally, a lot of her followers are into health and fitness. She would be someone we could connect with healthy food products, gyms, workout gear, etc. The advertisers would know that their message is reaching people already interested in what they have to offer.
I do agree that social media is a pretty big detriment to actual social interactions. I myself rarely use facebook or twitter, and its beyond tilting when hanging out with friends and they cant leave their twitter alone. I think i heard a stat once about the average amount of time an employee wastes on these things and it was apalling.
With that being said, I think our idea has potential in an untapped market and im pretty excited to see where it goes
