: perfect...you got the job by denying who you are, disowning friends and putting up a front about your interests. I understand that times are tough and that people do need to survive, but at what cost. Sorry, but I'd rather flip burgers and be proud of who I am and whom I associate with than to be embarrassed of my life, cover it up and sell out "me" in the pursuit of the almighty dollar. my 2 cents...please add it to my personal "interactive" record. Oh and to the HR person who wouldn't hire me based on a "scandalous" Facebook picture of me and not because of my qualifications...may I introduce you to the double middle.

: Forget this 'best'/'worst' business. Focus on what each is good for and how to leverage them to find friends, build business relationships and exchange information. This picture really isn't complete without LinkedIn anyway.
: Absolutely agree, Jason. It's impossible to keep up with it all. We see what the bleeding edge of that looks like (See: @scobleizer). Very few people can do it, much less devote the time. That's where filters, Google Alert and customized Yahoo!Pipes & RSS come in, I think -- or services like SocialMedian -- where other users with similar interests 'surface' what's relevant to your interests and to your company or personal brand. Thanks for helping me find what I need to know, more effectively, and in a community.
