"Nitpik" the brand name of an abbreviated online social networking and micro-blogging service often used by businesspeople, entertainers, registered heroes, and fans of the latter. Nitpik was designed to work with most common communication devices, including cellphones, pagers, personal organizers, and hero communicators.

Nitpik was originally developed for heroes to keep in touch with other heroes regarding their status and location. Unfortunately the technology was later acquired by several organizations including ARGENT, resulting in criminals being able to get a lead on hero activities through their own reckless habit. In addition, a cadre of self-important entertainers and their PR firms got hold of Nitpik to spread the news of their own projects, effectively ruining the exclusiveness of the service.

Today Nitpik is primarily viewed as a "wannabe" service for those that want to be famous or important. This includes self-professed "hero agents".
