A downside is that you cannot expose anything to people who have not signed up, so they cannot get a taste of it first. I'll keep my http://www.multiply.com page as I have managed to get a few non-techie friends and family on there, but I'll stick with Facebook too for the people I know there. There's also http://mugshot.org that can combine your feeds from various sites, but that may be too techie for some people. Sometimes I'm not sure where to post things. I'd prefer to do it all on my own site, but it depends on who I want to reach and how there are likely to pick it up. Then there's last.fm, del.icio.us....
