Yes, exactly. To me a social network also shouldn't be yet another information overload tool. There's a whole web already to overload me, and a media that project doom & gloom my way on a continuous basis.
I want my network to be more like a gem, where with like-minded friendly people we siff through the crazy stuff and muse about the wonder and beauty that's encountered on the web. Build stuff from it, inspire each other, be creative, and just have some fun. A relaxed place.
