Why is it that every single social network community site makes you:

• re-enter all your personal profile info (name, email, birthday, URL etc.)?
• re-add all your friends?

In addition, why do you have to:

• re-turn off notifications?
• re-specify privacy preferences?
• re-block negative people?

There’s a great article over on Microformats about possible standards for social networks. I’m suffering from social network fatigue, so standards would be very very good. (via)
