I'm in Facebook and LinkedIn and Ning.
Haven't really explored the social aspects of Ning very much, I was asked to join a test class. It looks very good for that kind of a setting.
I look at Facebook a couple times a week, and haven't really been too impressed. I guess it's easy to communicate to all my friends, but I could just send them all an email. I've only been on since November, 2009 I think.
I've found it very annoying to have former acquaintances request friendship. I joined because a friend moved away and he was a big Facebook user. When I came back to the site a couple days later I had 14 friend requests! And I told NO ONE! And these were all people from a different group than the friend that moved. How did they find me so fast? That was kinda scary.
My library has a Facebook page.
LinkedIn could be good for professional networking.

I view Facebook almost like an RSS Reader. Instead of sending separate emails to my friends, I can go to Facebook and find them all in one place. Facebook is like a human aggregator :-).

Rebecca, That's a good way to look at it.
