You’re really creating your own “group” but I’ll play along with calling it a “social network” because I suppose it can be classified that way as well.

Either way, I took the bait. I created my own. Self Employed Mamas Rock. That’s my new social network. I’m looking for members so if you’re a rockin self employed mama, you need to be there!

But really, is there such a thing as social network addiction? Can you really have too many social networks? Here’s my list so far. I think it’s getting ridiculous. How about you?

• Facebook (friends & biz)
• Biznik (biz)
• LinkedIn (biz)
• MySpace (friends)
• Bebo (who knows; I created it ages ago)
• Plaxo (friends & biz)
• StartupNation (biz)
• Active Rain (biz)
• Multiply (friends & fam but I haven’t even set up my profile yet)
• Twitter (biz)
• Squidoo (biz)
• Ning (who knows? I’m just breaking the ice with what it can do)
• Friendster (friends but it’s been ages)
• Indiepublic (just joined about twenty minutes before I joined ning.com)

I don’t want to be a victim of social network addiction! Then I’ll need to start an entirely new group called Social Network Addicts Anonymous…
