Why Social Network Aggregation?
As TheBizofCoding notes:
The need for users to be a member of not just one but multiple social networks can be understood through Barry Wellman's Barry Wellman concept of networked individualism. PEW Internet report The Strenght of Internet Ties explains networked individualism well:
Rather than relying on a single community for social capital, individuals often must actively seek out a variety of appropriate people and resources for different situations
Recent research data from Compete confirms that people are tending to have multiple Social Network Memberships. E.g. 20% of MySpace members are also Facebook Members.
