However I still think Facebook is too cumbersome. I still prefer LinkedIn. you may have heard that Plaxo is making some changes that will compete with Facebook and LinkedIn. The obvious problem is that we can not keep up with so many changes in all the various social networks.

There are some answers to these problems being developed and it will be interesting to see what they look like once the dust settles a bit.
