You know, when someone writes "I want to use <any s.h.i.t> because my friends use it", the basic question comes in mind - who is more a fool - a fool himself, or someone who follows him?

LOL! Well maybe a little sheepish

But that is how it goes when it comes to these social networks, I sometimes find it a bit insidious, the way they trap users in their ecosystems.

I do prefer open standards, but I am pragmatic, and the fact that it serves its purpose well is more important to me than openness.

I agree that there is a good chance that someday this way of thinking will come to bite me in the ***. (for example when skype shuts down or becomes windows only).
But hey, saves time until then.
