10 Ways to get the most our of social networking sites

Dustin Wax (dwax.org) gives ten suggestions for getting the most out of social networking sites. I don't agree with two of them, so I'll passon theother eight:
1. Have a clear purpose. Know what you're using it for.
2. Complete your profile. Think what you want people to know about you and why they should care.
3. Don't follow the leader. Take the initiative and add people. Don't wait for them to come to you.
4. Pick one or two networks and work them. Focus all your energies on creating useful and meaningful connections there.
5. Send messages. Find reasons to connect with people in your network.
6. Have something to say. Give people a reason to pay attention to you.
7. Avoid Clutter. Limit what you put on your profile.
8. Firewall your personal with busiess lives. If you are using the site for business, don't put personal stuff on there.

The two suggestions I don't agree with are: "Accept everyone" and "Add everyone you know, no matter how little. I don't agree with the frist one. I think you should actually now the person. The second one, I agree with for Facebook but not for Linked In.
