Re: Social Networking - Should I or Shouldn't I?

Use what your friends use. If you don't have friends, social networks aren't for you. It's also a reason not to play multiplayer games.

Here are my suggestions:
You're an aspiring animator and an animator needs a portfolio. YouTube or Vimeo are both great, but artists tend to go with Vimeo more than YouTube. Second is the main one you didn't list: LinkedIn. This is the professional social network. I've gotten two jobs through LinkedIn contacts.

If you don't have friends and don't like posting about yourself or to your friends, there are other ways to use the social networks. Twitter is an amazingly good news aggregator if you properly curate the users you follow. If you're into that sort of thing, Tumblr can be the same for porn. Google+ hangouts are great for quick teleconferencing and Foursquare is fantastic as a restaurant finder.
