True, the network effects of the traditional social media are strong. LinkLonk needs a critical mass of users for network effects to kick in.

To make it worthwhile for the users before the project reaches that point, I am trying to make LinkLonk a better tool that helps you keep track of the content you liked (kind of a bookmarking service) and helps you follow RSS feeds in (kind of a feed reader).

If you have other ideas of how to make it more useful before we have enough users - let me know.
