This site is a BB in a boxcar next to the masters of the universe.Once upon a time when you had over half the market you were subject to anti-trust action...

Capitalism is not perfect -- sometimes competition needs to be helped along. Adjustments need to be made. Especially in social media, where he major players have a monopoly-like grip on the market because so many users have so much time invested in relationships and content.
