All of the free social networking sites are too heavy on lock-in and
other people monetizing the users (that's you and me) for my tastes.
I'm not on Facebook now, nor do I ever intend to be.  I'm not alone
here - most of my friends who are concerned about personal privacy
aren't on Facebook either.  My Google and Yahoo accounts are largely
unused, for the same reason.

I think it would be better to focus on ways that we could improve the
current AMRAD site, get more content from more people onto it.

What other shortcomings are we trying to address here?

Thanks,
