I think you're underestimating the ability of people to sign up to new
resources without a coherent "need".

Social networking sites are fashionable, and there are plenty of them.
But I don't think a new networking site for each potential hobby
(Ubuntu, soccer, tapestry work) is going to help. As for community
interaction in Ubuntu, following this along with the sounder mailing
list, and the community area of the forums, not to mention the
equivalent resources for my local team, is going to be one burden more
than I need.

But if people think they will miss out on stuff, then of course they
will sign up anyway.
