I think I'm on both RG and Academia, since I get emails from both, but haven't really found their value add yet, over and above using arXiv for publishing preprints, and Google Scholar for citation metrics.
Like most social networks, they integrate very poorly with email (by actively discouraging participation by email), effectively rendering them invisible to me. I have a hard enough time as it is keeping up with email, so there's nothing left over to go monitoring any social network site. But I never say never... Even Farcebook might get me one day :). BTW - anyone still subscribed to comdig via email? I complained to Carlos when I caught up with him in Mexico City last year that since comdig went over to LinkedIn, I haven't been able to get the feed, and he said that the old email list was still running, but I can't seem to find a way to subscribe to it.
