Ron, to clarify, we do present the information back in a way that mimics the original social network, but we don't actually preserve the content pixel-by-pixel. We actually preserve the raw metadata and recreate the look, feel, and behavior. This is in contrast to many other tools that simply capture the HTML presentation from Facebook.com and Twitter.com, but not the underlying data. Our view is that the content should feel very familiar to the user, but that the underlying record and metadata are actually what matters.
