Why?

Since I'm not a Facebookie not a Tweetie, I'm honestly curious as to why all this linking is a good thing. What does it really do for a member? for DaniWeb?

With the Google algorithm change significantly hurting the amount of traffic we have (as we rely so heavily on traffic from google), we're looking towards social media to drive visitors to DaniWeb. Visitors who tweet or like DaniWeb pages are basically recommending DaniWeb to their network of online friends and colleagues.

Ah, OK...

By tying it into activity points, it's (hopefully) a good way to get people enthusiastic about endorsing DaniWeb, bookmarking and recommending specific pages to their friends and colleagues, growing our traffic through social media, and hopefully getting a little more independence from Google.
