The ability to post your posts to Facebook/Twitter strikes me as useful for a certain segment of people - those that want to use their FB or Twitter as aggregation tools (which is what I do with Twitter - it gets my FB status updates and Delicious links automatically). Not everyone will use this, but it's something people already do manually, so making it part of the site sounds handy.
Posting comments to both places, on the other hand, is something that leaves me baffled. Is there _anyone_ that does this? What's the point of putting a copy of a bit of discussion on a different site? Can anyone explain how this would be useful to them?

Fictitious sources also confirmed that the so-called "masterminds" behind our country's security and strategic defense are in fact people of moderate to reasonably above-average intelligence just like us who perform their jobs with more or less the same degree of competence and zeal as any regular person with a job would.
"Obviously, it would be very comforting, and pretty cool, if there were stealth groups of resourceful, naturally gifted secret agents like me scouring the planet, rooting out terrorist sleeper cells, and tracking down Osama bin Laden," said a multilingual computer/ explosives/espionage expert who most Americans actually believe is a real guy out there. "I'm not denying that would be amazing; my only point is that it just isn't true."
"Believe me, I wish I existed, too," the fake man added. "I would probably be great."

It took a terribly ordinary story, told repeatedly in thousands of soap operas, and frames it in the language of video games, turning it into something quite extraordinary.
It doesn't help that the entire cast is made of awesome, particularly Kieran Culkin and Jason Schwartzman. Michael Cera is probably perfectly suited for playing Scott, because (like the comic book) I spent most of the film wanting to slap him repeatedly with a wet fish. And Mary Elizabeth Winstead is effortlessly cool.
If you're at all geeky then go see it. Julie and I both enjoyed it an awful lot.
