If you go to the site, it's not actually a social network. I mean, it has what looks like an off the shelf forum attached, but basically it's a super targeted eHow with a really good affiliate marketing strategy.
Every website is a social network in its press release. Journalists will repeat those descriptions. Don't fight it, you'll lose your mind.
It does not address exactly what a social network would accomplish for the consumer beyond acting as a conduit for advertising. That's where the issue is.
