I totally agree on the points about overload and importance of picking your top faves. I've really worked Facebook and now nothing can compare, so I'm sticking with it! 1,000+ friends and growing. Twitter rocks too... though I still haven't figured out an effective (non time-consuming) way to keep up with the tweets of specific individuals!! :) Good stuff here, Todd!!

Love Flickr and Twitter myself. I'll give 8hands a look too, but it may not fit or I'll end up letting something else go. Ha. Joseph, Alright! I so get you on the cross networks thing. I've got contacts on too many other networks and get new invites all the time. Nickev,

I have friend who bugs me to join this one and that one. MySpace and Twitter are the ones I gravitate towards. She on the other hand is on Facebook, Bebo, Okrut, Hi5, Last.FM, Sleep.FM and Badoo. How many can you be on and have time for? Yeah overload is right!

Agree with every word. My 3 chosen networks are Twitter, Flickr and Facebook. I also use this fabulous tool called <a href="http://www.8hands.com" rel="nofollow">8hands</a> which aggregates my content and contacts from all different networks and keeps me updated about whatever is happening in all of my favorite profiles. You should really check it out. Great post.

Facebook has lots of things going on, but suffers from a lack of a good built in guide. There are several good references on the web though; I'll try to root out some about growing and nurturing your FB groups. Patrick, First off, thank you for visiting and commenting. Your input and clarification is most welcome. To help give myself a better feel, I jumped in and updated my feeds, invited contacts and did some people searches. It was easy to locate individuals I was interested in. Updating my personal information was also simple. The liberal use of Ajax makes the site seem very responsive, a feature I really enjoy. I'd love to contact you, and do a full review of Spock on it's own. Thank you both. Please stop back any time. Aruni,

With a number of networking sites on the Web it can certainly be an issue with having to organize all your friends on the Web. However you should note that Spock.com is more of a people search application than a social networking site. With Spock it enables you to organize and search your entire network on the Web whether they're on LinkedIn, Plaxo, Twitter, etc. Spock eliminates the need to be on every networking site by including links to other places a person is on the Web, and giving you the option to receive news updates about a person posting something on twitter, adding a Yelp review, updating their resume, etc. Spock is also great because you can easily search your network and anyone else on the Web by name, e-mail, or tag (a keyword phrase such as Duke Alum, Art History Degree, Seattle, etc). As a search application that organizes information from across the Web you don’t need to be a member to have a search result, but we do encourage people to claim their Spock result and add relevant content about yourself and others. If you have any further questions about what Spock can do for you, please feel free to contact me at Patrick@corp.spock.com. Great post on a common Social Networking quandary.

Twitter is my favorite too. I haven't had the time required to really use facebook well. I set up a group for my company but I'm not sure how to promote it or beef it up. Stumbled!
