It is a little creepy when you think about it.  A lot of the stuff shared can come and bite you in the ass (there's a company that actually searches all this stuff and creates reports for employers about the kind of pictures you post and stuff you say). 

However, with Facebook, I've actually been able to network with people for employment opportunities and also reconnected with people I haven't seen in over 20 years.  It's different things to different people I suppose.   I use it as a tool - and I'm very careful about what I post on these things.

Like Howard and Atom, I've not held an account on any of these sites, nor do I have any kind of personal desire to do so.  However, as DaveMMR said, it could be an excellent networking tool.  Which is something I sorely lack.  I know very few people on a personal level, which can hurt in a tough job market.  Fortunately I still have mine, so that doesn't currently matter.

If I ever do one of these sites, it'll be purely for networking reasons.  I have better or more fun things to do than constantly update it with drivel and 80,000 meaningless pictures.  I don't have much interesting to say.   Then again, from the posts I've seen other people put, nobody does.

It was first allowing little 13 year olds to go on facebook that wrecked it, then all the retarded games.

If google has an 18 or older policy... I may consider it.

There's a perfect workaround for that.  Don't friend 13 year olds and don't play the games.  ;D

You may want to look at joining LinkedIn, it's made specifically for job networking.  Simply by having an account there with my work background (with hardly anything in the description of what I do) and being connected to most of the people at my previous jobs, I've been contacted by a number of recruiters (from Netflix, Garmin, and a few others), and I'm not even looking for a new job :P
