this is actually something I don't get, and it was brought up a couple months ago by someone else; regarding the social aspects of the of the software, no one is forcing you to use it, ie - you can turn it off. So why would something you don't have to use make you not use the rest of the application; from what I understand, the Ipod/ipad version of the application is actually pretty top notch.
I personally don't care for the social aspect either, although I will use it from time to time to share a quote I really liked. But I'm not going to stop using the app due to the presence of it. If they were forcing me to use it, that would be another matter, but then that would also be a privacy issue against the company
