Good idea!   LinkedIn does seem to be the most professionally-used
social service; Orkut and MySpace seem to be less serious.

Two good posts from Guy Kawasaki about LinkedIn:

One thing I learned: having a recommendation or two means you show up
higher in the list of search results, and have been trying to write
recommendations for colleagues as a result.  (This does mean only
accepting connections from people you *can* offer an opinion on, and
not people who are just vague acquaintances.)
