At work we're experimenting with social networks. It's amusing to note the non-overlap between the Orkut people and the LinkedIn people -- different purposes and different goals. And the standard wisdom is that Myspace users graduate to Facebook as their social identity evolves. Is this a function primarily of age? Once the generation growing up with social networking hits their mid-20s, will they continue to network-hop or will they settle on one? Or will they, like my office mates, sign up for all the networks any of their friends or colleagues are with?

They will probably sign up on all the networks but where they are active is they key right ... The subset of the network I belong to is age classifed. For e.g. . all my nephews and nieces in high school are on orkut ... folks in college are of course on Facebook ... though I dont see any migration from facebook to linked in ... linked In is not as social I guess .... no active comments, no photos, no videos etc ... It is professional and has value but I am not sure if its as active as Facebook ..
my conlusions:
coexistence in orkut/myspace and facebook = True
Migration from myspace/orkut to facebook = true
migration from facebook to LinkedIn = hmm .. not true
