Unless you're building something like a social network or marketplace site, that specific kind of network effect seems unlikely to matter very much.

It seemed like you were confused about the term and or the correct use of the term. The term is "network effect" not "networkING effect." I am not invested in the argument one way or the other. I just wanted to point out how to use the term.
