TzuVelli,
I agree that the benefits outweigh the flaws. I’ve gained a lot from social media and I use it everyday. You’re absolutely right about being able to get traffic for a new site. This one is a good example. Within 24 hours of launch I had thousands of visitors with no money spent.

Graham,
I think its important to focus on just a few social sites and then to maybe use others occasionally. StumbleUpon would be my first choice if I could only use one.

Im still at a early stage with my various new blogs that I can really set back and watch with a healthy knowing glow and I will be confronted much much useful information.

The problem then comes summarising for you own use, and this can be hard. Im starting slow, Stumble in one site I am quite active in mostly right now. And will build up from there, but no made rush to try everything an everyone at once.

DIGG I really am debating on. Really my interest is helping other sites more than what it can do for me (nothing of my stuff is DIG material, so why bother) but I love to show my appreciate by DIGGIN knew stories etc.
If I did this, my head would sure sure implode and become a much bigger hole than what was there initially. Now that hole in my head only hurt me, but this would be very unpleasant.

Anyway, I digress. Another very useful read, absorbed and bookmarked for future reference.
