I interviewed a bunch of years ago with a company called “xmode social” (I was in desperate need of a job. I fortunately did not get that one.)

That was their entire business AFAIK.

There don’t need to be any shared features for companies to include shit like that in their apps. They just need a way to make the line go up.
