Am I the only one who see's the whole "meet someone, and fill out a profile (or have them fill out a profile)" to be a major source of friction?

I've been a diehard Evernote user for a long time, but making it useful required developing my own complicated system "built on" Evernote. To me, Evernote is a platform, rather than a product or system. I don't find it very useful out of the box, and I feel like they have a fairly myopic vision.

This is purely speculation on my part of course.
I have been collecting a lot of information on Evernote and I am also getting rid of my online social profile. I certainly do not think social networking in Evernote can be of any use.
