Yes, it is important to have a presence, but not at the expense of stretching yourself too thin. Imagine if you have an account on 20 social networks, but you only really pay attention to 5-6? Anyone visiting the remaining sites will come away with the impression that you're someone that doesn't communicate or interact on that site. Which could go a long way towards putting potential employers off, especially if you're looking for a job that involves social media use.

It's easy to get frustrated with all the 'personal PR' that is now expected, but your post really helps to simplify the process. Now, I feel like it's (almost) manageable!
