Wondering if freelance community / networking websites are worth the money?
Has anybody ever had any real success by joining one of these types of websites?
If so, which ones are worth the time and money? It’s so hard to trust the slick marketing — especially when you’re the one who designs it :)

What I’ve heard from everyone who ever posted on those sites, especially Craig’s List, is that you never hear back from anybody ever—a waste of time. Face to face networking is what works.

LinkedIn, IMHO, is more of a ’hey, I know you in person, let’s stay in contact’ type of service.

I use LinkedIn for my resume and to generally keep my address book up to date. Facebook I use to keep in touch with people and find out which famous designer is using a bunny on a magazine cover (which absolutely made me smile!). Both are useful. I’ve started using Plaxo, but wonder if I’m going a bit OTT.
