I have an answer to that question: two. Brandon hall has, for example, "a Ning Network, a Blog, a Hitchhikr listing, a Facebook Group, a Twitter stream, a Flickr group, a Slideshare group, and a YouTube group." Why does it need all these things. Because it cannot share its one network of clients and friends among all those sites. It has to set up a separate group on each one of them. It's silly. Tagging is one way around this - use a common tag, and in that way unite the groups on all these different networks. But not everything supports tagging, and tags don't always leverage other services, like member lists.
