You might find that 100% of the people on social network sites find their 'answers' productive!!! At least in some small way.
I've come across this site in which the answers you give represent your personality entirely. It's called MyCyberTwin and it seems like a unique concept, a different way to communicate as opposed to the traditional myspace sites etc. At MyCyberTwin.com you create your own 'cybertwin', give it a personality and teach it to talk and behave like you. Other people can then chat to it 24hrs a day. You can even embed these twins into other sites like Myspace and your MSN account. It's something different anyway. Something to keep an eye out for perhaps? The different ways in which people represent themselves is such an interesting topic. I love reading these!
I use Myspace regularly just as a means to keep in touch with my friends overseas. It's a nice little medium. I do understand the points being made about status symbols and the whole 'fakeness' and facade of some people on these sites. In a sign of definace I once altered my 'numnber of friends' to something like 74389473857348! I was popular for a day!
Social networking seems to be changing so quickly with emerging technologies looking to move one step ahead of the often limited scope of myspace, facebook, bebo etc. I came across this really cool site the other day called
MyCyberTwin which is combining the whole idea of social networking with chat based technology.

You can even embed these twins into other social networking sites like Myspace and MSN. It's something different and seems to be taking off. Would you create a twin that is (a) just like you (b) nothing like you (c) somewhere in between. These answers could lead to an understanding of what people are actually looking for in these social networking sites! Something to look out for perhaps?
