You need to be focusing on strategy and where you want to drive all the traffic you are going to be generating.

Each network plays a different role, and you need to chose the ones which best fit your need at an given time. For me: LinkedIn is simply an extension of my address book. I use it to make connections between people, but not for networking. I rarely answer questions or get engaged in dialogues. SmallerIndiana is my community connection. It is not a business networking site. Though many people are trying to turn it into one. Twitter is my news source, it is where i connect with people real time. It is great when you are at conferences or events being able to post a twitter, and connect with other Tweets. I am amazed at how interesting conversations can be 140 characters at a time. FriendFeed is an agregator, which pulls my feeds from everywhere. I don't use the conversation piece of it as much. I prefer the interface on Twitter, but it does much the same things. Plaxo and Facebook, I maintain profiles, and accept connection requests, but rarely use the tools. For more on this topic - check out www.kylelacy.com He writes about this choice often.

How many networking websites is considered too many? Getting confused with so many available and how they compare. Time is certainly a consideration here. Suggestions? Just now looking into Twitter.
