Practically all of us carry a camera phone,

not all of us an Apple one. should I feel sorry I'm not your target or you should be sorry because you restrict a social network to one platform?

So these guys who were big names at facebook leave facebook to found... a social network?

And the only major difference is that you can only have 50 friends...

Looks interesting. I'm not a social-network user -- I closed my Facebook account a couple of months ago, and I've never used Twitter -- but this I could see using.

That could be the bad news: the site might appeal most to those like me who value our privacy -- and I'm not sure how many of us are left :)

But I'm not an iPhone user either. Currently using a Pre but contemplating a switch to Android.

Would anyone care about this if it wasn't launched by highly visible Facebook alums?

Quality should be judged on merit, not who made them.

If there's magic here, somebody lift the kimono.
