It's a shoddy gimmick for the self important plastic munchers to link to each other and most importantly themselves. Jump on some hype and oh, why don't you look at my blog entry on the topic. I'd love to see a graph of this activity. "Build profile" so google will rank you higher!!!!!!!!!! Or omg we've invented our own google+++!!!!!! gag. We know what the word of the first part of this decade is. "Me." Now what's next that's actually worthwhile.
