I signed up for Linked-In, but will not use it because I don't feel like my network will be kept private and secure. I've worked so hard to create it - all it takes is one spamming or botched up intro to really do some damage. My friend started ContactSpan in this space. Although I have the same concerns, at least these guys do not reveal identity of people in your network. You can only 'browse' other people relationships by company or title but no more. Overall, the concept of social networking is great. I've used it twice to get someone else a job and also for an intro into a VP of biz dev. They key point about Om’s article is privacy and security.
