A see a huge problem with the shared profit thing, with virtual worthless points like Likes you already have all sorts of retardness from people dying to pull a hit stunt to profile for a dead baby mummy, can you imagine if the users were paid for the attention their posts get? "A thousand likes or this kitty goes in the microwave". I think the nice new place to be would be one where you are not the product, doesn't matter if you are being paid or not, or if you are paying or not.

Yeah, I think you would need to make something new and un-thought of. Something unique that draws a lot of attention.

>I’m a business man and a family man. I love collecting chairs and getting drunk on the weekends. I want to introduce all of these aspects to my network...Combining your identities, creates a synergy and depth to your online persona.

Isn't this what Google+ has been trying to do from the start?
