I can't believe this shit actually is used by humans. What a waste! Waste of effort for nonsense, waste of time implementing by the site owners AND the end-users.
I hate the way "socialites" and "social media" have dumbed down the youth and those in their 20's and early 30's. All crap! FB is total garbage and a brutal time-waster in EVERY ASPECT. The ONLY thing positive w/Facebook is the mere basic ability to connect w those you haven't seen in a long time. The ONLY thing positive about Twitter is the ability to ex-filtrate the information from a communist country or the likes of one.

Yet another frivolous venture where the powers that be invest massive sums of cash only to shut it down shortly thereafter.
Just you all watch! "Backstage" is doomed before it's even conceptualized. That's my prediction.
