In my opinion its a bit of a waste but I can see how people would like it since you can share what you're doing with your friends. A little redundant given that you could just post it on twitter or whatever without integration, not to mention official forums. I know there was a memory system in TS3 which could be shared (which was also horribly implemented btw), I don't know if something like it exists in TS4. Ideally I'd like it to be non-intrusive and optional, which is often rare at least in TS3 which always bugs me to log into my thesims3.com account. I'd really prefer less time wasted on these things and more time on actual content.
