Okay, here's my plan:

1. Change "social profiles" to "social media" or "social media accounts"
throughout.

2. Get rid of the "Site name" field

3. Rename the "Network type" menu to "Social network"

4. Drop "website" from that menu, and replace it with an "other (specify
name)" option, which will open up a text field.

5. When the user chooses "other", the value they put in the text field
will be used for the network name. If they choose one of the recognized
networks from the menu, that network will be used for the network name.

6. Change the labelling of the URL or username field so that it says
something like "The URL of your profile page; or your username for an
instant messaging account". And allow non-URL values there even if you
choose "other"

That should reduce some of the confusion. For 1.11 we should make the
list of networks expandable by the admin (much like iframe URLs).

Title:
  Scoial profile and Social Profiles

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I see two choices for social profile which could be confusing to
  users. I like the new social profile feature but I don't quite see
  what the functional difference is.
