That's a tough one. I've cut back to almost 0 time now. The only one I'm doing is Twitter and I've only recently started being a twit. Never got much traffic from any of the other social networks, but maybe I didn't have enough time or didn't try hard enough.

I did a review of one of my blogs on StumbleUpon recently and got a big surge of traffic - that didn't last. It was kind of interesting though. I find StumbleUpon too big to be that interesting to me.
I just got a big blast of Stumble traffic today from my blog post about Amazon suing the state of New York due to affiliate-driven sales tax. I've bought Stumble traffic too. Bad thing is people only stay on your page for a second and leave - never do anything else for the most part.

Hey the main social sites I focus on are stumbleupon, Digg, and most recently Twitter. They have all provided a decent amount of traffic, but nothing too extraordinary. The good thing about StumbleUpon and Digg is that you don't have to spend too much time on them themselves other than submitting your Diggs and Stumbles.
As per time spent, I have been spending the most time on twitter now, just to provide updates. But overall I would say about an hour and a bit a day would be sufficient. Just do your best to build some quality relationships with others and you should be good.
I would guess around 6 hours of my day are spent on social networking. I have recently seen an increased amount of traffic from Twitter. It is nice to see my updates on Twitter start to pay off!
Time spending in social networking is completely depends upon your interest, the more you spend in social networking, the more friends you'll get and obviously you'll get more results. But it's better if you concentrate on main social networking sites which is popular now a days and have regular updations in that community.
But it depends on which site. almost 30% on stumbleupon, 10%digg , Facebook
20%. All other sites I don't visit every day. Tell you digg is better, but at stuble people are more friendly, and they socialize.
I spend several hours a day social networking. I especially like Facebook Groups. By joining you can post your link. I think social netwoking is so important these days, as netwoking and relationships is what it's all about.
Everyone of them is time in time out. I use Plaxo LinkedIn and Twitter to build traffic to my blog. Every targeted questions series or update or post gets me some readers (From 5-150) and more importantly a couple subscribers. Like evereything else it involves work and constant use of the medium. That means being social and communicating with your audience.
How much time to spend on social networking?
All my day
