Roshani, The Development Gateway has 28 online communities (http://topics.developmentgateway.org) on various development issues. Among other things, we have a "Member Directory" on each of these communities, which allows development professionals to network. We are currently working on improving this tool. The social networking sites you mention have some nice features, which we would like to incorporate in our enhanced Member Directory.
