There is, it's called github ;). More seriously, we don't feel the need to update our status every day. pushing code is our status, isn't it?

I don't see the need for that either; I'm referring to sharing things in a more visual way (Pinterest), making new code available (Github), adding friends and likeminded folks (Facebook), discussing topics in groups (LinkedIn).

The obvious answer to why is, no one's built it yet. Forrst supposed fill the showing off things in pictures void (plus it's exclusive, just like Facebook used to be). Github comes pretty close, you can even have a personal page (though updating has be done via pushes).

A feature I'd like to see in such a site is a repository/tool for defining syntax rules & colorschemes for editors.
