There is a real push toward a more social web, and claims that it makes the web a better place. However, I am glad that someone has developed this extension. I have never liked all those auto updating twitter streams, facebook likes, etc. I have found them annoying ant distracting. "Making the web a better place" means gaining easier access to content. However those widgets only make me gain _better access to people I don't know, nor care about_ and pull me away from content.
