Why does every single social network community site make you:
- re-enter all your personal profile info (name, email, birthday, URL etc.)?
- re-add all your friends?
And why do you have to:
- re-turn off notifications?
- re-specify privacy preferences?
- re-block people you don’t want to interact with?
