I also am a "joiner" to some extent, so I register and take my cues from my peers as to which ones are appropriate. @dotsisx None of the socnets work the way I want in all respects.

At the end of the day, they may realize that they couldn't make good money -> thus have to join "Web 2.0 dead pool" or merge with another company.

I joined Jaiku because it seemed that everyone was mentioning it in the Nokia blogosphere. Ever since, I have been addicted to it, because it serves so many purposes (getting in touch with fellow bloggers and readers, ask a question and get an answer ASAP, a lot of links to interesting reads and news, random funny posts...). I am also on Facebook, and mind you, I didn't open my own account, my friend surprised me one day by coming and saying that she opened one for me. What I found throughout my experience on Jaiku and Facebook is that everyone that I follow there has an account on either plurk or twitter or whatever-other-social-networking-site-there-is. Which means that there is no added value in me following them there compared to following them on Facebook or Jaiku. I think it is hence irrelevant to divide myself between 100 services and ponder which one will prevail. I use Jaiku daily, and have a Facebook add-on that takes my Jaiku updates and puts them as my new statuses. That pretty much does it. It's time saving, and it takes off the irrelevancy of having to aggregate 10 services and follow the same 90% of people all over the places. If one day, one of these services becomes the most used one, I will switch to it. But honestly, I think Jaiku has the potential. Being bought by Google means a lot, even though a lot of people are saying that Google bought Jaiku for the developers and not the service. For once, I have to disagree with you Daemon.
