Hi Dinah... I'll be posting a PsychCentral... I agree with you. It's not about not helping others. It's about being able to control our own words to the greatest extent possible, which all other reasonable social 'networking' sites that I am aware of allow. Of course someone could still copy and paste or post their own link, but that takes more work than pushing a button. Pushing a button is for mindless things like saying a video on Youtube is funny or an article about celebrity gossip is worth reading, not for the serious stuff we discuss. This makes it too easy. People can share without thinking. And there's no way for us to control how our information is used. So I'll be at PsychCentral, under a different name. If I see you there, I'll let you know I used to be a Babbler. :)
