On top of it, each social networking site you join requires effort to maintain, so I for one want to keep mine to a minimum.

But it might be a way to enhance Ovi, I suppose. Microsoft is trying to add social networking to Hotmail after all, since they have a nice user base to build from, despite the fact that I find the thought of doing social networking on Windows Live unspeakably lame. Not that they asked my opinion.
