[sharecred]

Agreed that there is a catch-22 here (as I would imagine with any social network - if our friends are not on the network, what is the point in me joining?). As I mentioned in my post, it took me a while to join Facebook. And how long LinkedIN has been around, it feels like only the last couple of years people have been 'regular' on LinkedIN.

Having said the above, I wholeheartedly agree with you. In fact, we are working on a Wordpress plugin to let users cross-post to ShareCred simultaneously. RSS could be another great way, but we will have to work out ownership.

Frankly, I am glad that the discussion is about how to attract users than 'the concept does not make sense' - which was the first hurdle we wanted to get through.

Now that we are through it, I truly appreciate any ideas you (and others) can share.
