How many online social networks do you belong to?

I joined Orkut, just to see what the hell it was...which was boring and pointless. No fundamental difference between Orkut and Usenet, except Orkut was in Portuguese. 

I joined LinkedIn because it seemed more like a tool, and I'm just figuring out what it is good for. 

I get the sense that most folks just join up on any network they get an invitation to, just in case. Which brought about a need to manage all those accounts because you know damn well you're only checking one or two of the six organizations you've joined. You may not even remember which ones you've joined. I think I have an account on Multiply...

I don't join them things willy-nilly because I don't know, and therefore don't trust the operators thereof . The relationship data they gather is way too valuable...hell I could think of uses for it.
