For me, it was the perfect social network. That&rsquo;s really what I want from a social network: I want to be able bookmark things I find interesting, and read the links that other people (that I follow) find interesting. I don&rsquo;t need any more than that. I don&rsquo;t even need to know why they found the link interesting.</p> <p>Over the many years, I&rsquo;ve tried to use other social networks (with varying degrees of success/satisfaction). What&rsquo;s really been consistent, though, is that I&rsquo;ve tried to use them all as either a bookmarking service or a blog. When I was on Google+ (which, I thought, was a pretty good one, as far as social networks go), someone once said (in response to something I&rsquo;d said) that using a social network and not wanting to actually engage with others was masturbatory. It made me laugh, but, okay. I see that perspective and I&rsquo;m fine with it.</p>
