My question is why do 'network addicts' seem to think that inviting their complete LinkedIn network (for example) to join them on Plaxo or E-Academy (again for example) will be worth doing? You are in a good network with them, you have access, you have updates, you can network off them - what else do you need? Is this becoming just a 'badge' thing? And how the hell do people have the time to keep more than 5/6 going properly anyway?? Haven't they got a day job to do? I totally agree with Gene’s observation on the required social networks.
