Facebook is enough of an addiction for me without adding another social network. I have come very close to deleting my Facebook account, specially recently when I discovered it was collecting information about all my contacts without my knowledge and publishing their telephone numbers. I have always been very careful to close as many holes in my account's security as I can find, but still they change the rules regularly. The ONLY thing that keeps me there is that through FB I have re-established contact with family and friends many years after I thought I'd lost them altogether.

Knowing Google's keenness for "personalising" the browsing experience (i.e snooping big time) I doubt I shall sign up for anything even more Google related anytime soon (and yes I know that FB collects as much personal data as Google and Microsoft, although, apparently, considerably less than Yahoo).
