It's not a full-feature social media platform.
It's the "two tomato tins and piece of string"
version of social media.
"Can you hear me now... can you hear me now..."
Well, pull the string a little tighter.
I would send you a "bag full of Likes", but
there is no transport for that. And no where to
record how many Likes you have accumulated.
You can see this is a spartan environment.
I can't send you any pictures of me pouting
in the bathroom mirror. Somehow this place is
just not the same that way.

You see, I'm not entirely unattractive.
Do you think I'm attractive ? Send me a Like.
Oh, oh yeah.
The teenagers will be all over this, once they discover
all the features.
