LinkedIn seems very good for that. TBH, what I do is a bot lost on
there, but I've got a small presence (fnar, fnar) on there, nonetheless.

I know how you feel. For that reason, I have two FB accounts. One for
the couple of games I play so as not to overload my real friends with
all the guff that can be generated. The other account, my "real"
account, is used to keep in touch with people I actually know.

Indeed. Worryingly, the same happens with people signing up to
LinkedIn. You'd expect so-called professionals, to be a bit more
discerning about what they allow the site to do. That is, not send out
invites willy-nilly to everyone and, more importantly, every *thing*
(i.e. mailing lists) in their address book.

And I suspect it will ever be thus. And that's no bad thing.
