It's just like the offline world. It takes time to build and maintain real-life and online friendships. Yes, it does take a lot of time. It’s just like the offline world.

It also takes up a LOT of time to do these networking sites. I think the first time you do these, it gets kinda hard, but after that it is a lot easier.

Content is still necessary and important. However, good content coupled with the power of social media will get more traffic and links than great content that's not marketed effectively through social media. I was comparing the importance between content and social media. They're both important. I was just answering the question of which one was more important. Let me add this. You need at least <em>good</em> content. You can have a bunch of friends vote for your mediocre content, but everyone else will vote it down.

IMHO, social media sites are an alternative method of searching for relevant content - relevance being determined democratically. So, there is no way these sites can displace content. Content is still king! However, I believe social media sites do have the intrinsic potential to dethrone vanilla search engines. Whether that actually will happen only time can tell.

Netscape is also a good one, because the community there is pretty friendly. It's not too hard to get votes from Netscape users. Also, Netscape works for many different niches whereas Digg and Reddit have less topics.

I've been talking about focusing on fewer sites and the same applies to social media sites. Good point. I’ve been talking about focusing on fewer sites and the same applies to social media sites.
