Let me add one more suggestion: keep one “network slot” open for experimentation. Sometimes, you find a use or great value in a network that wasn’t readily apparent at first. Twitter comes to mind, as I have practical professional benefits a couple of ways.

The important point is that a network is only as good as the time you invest – and half-assing your way through several serves no purpose.

Will be interesting to see if the “community” will continue to develop new and better ways to get the info we want and need.
