My impression is that it has a serious problem of predetermined power users as a result of its invite-only system under a probably dishonest ethos of privacy. It seems like kind of a reversal, actually, where the early adopters of it - super publicized - have a significantly higher influence because it is by them and only through them that you can access the site. Kind of like a pyramid scheme in the realm of social capital, if you will.
