They'll continue to not gain traction until someone tries to figure out why. I ran into roadblocks trying to interact with people on different sites. I'm not sure exactly how to overcome them, but I guess it's something like an OpenID sign-in. I never bothered since I had other networks to try out. This is probably why ello is gaining traction where app.net and similar didn't. You make an account, and there's no counterintuitive steps--relative to dominant social networks--to connecting with other people.
