If a CEO/CFO or top-Politician is using the site just for business reasons because it is a must for him to be part of the network, you might are right, they would rather hire an assistant to do so… But I met CEOs as well as top-Politicans who are personally very active in networking on this sites. In my opinion, "quality over quantity" is the key to success for an exclusive social community, but that principle is rarely found on the internet, even among "exclusive" platforms, where striving for higher user numbers has become the highest priority, like you can currently see on aSmallWord. I'm a member of some exclusive networking sites, like ASW, Decayenne, or CosmoCircle, and despite of all this "problems", I met very interesting people, found new friends, made successful new business contacts and found business opportunities, that otherwise would have been unobtainable.

This type of misguided focus is why most of the people / companies listed in this exclusive group are also the same exclusive group that are in the headlines for massive company losses and/or employee lay offs - here's an idea, focus on your respective businesses and customers (vs. stock price or attempting to bandwagon with faux networking sites or attending completely meaningless events).
