That is another HUGE drawback associated with social networks. If you can't target your audience with precision, you could end up with some legal issues!

I agree, you just have to beware of letting your computer consume you.

I can spend hours reading, posting, promoting. LOL

I usually use my laptop, when the battery runs low I know it's time to get up and move a bit. I learned in a forum that it's hard on my battery, but if I leave my laptop plugged in I might forget to move, eat, drink. They may find me in a computer coma.

A good forum will allow you to "strut your stuff" when posting about subjects compatible with whatever product or service you sell.

The best way to build trust in potential clients or customers is to show that you know your subject and product well!
