This is a guy who almost always leaves me a comment on Facebook status updates and pictures. He actively engages with the Facebook community.
Sure social networking can have it's stalker-types who only get on to click around trying to see people's pictures and read about their lives without having to be involved in the network. But social networking gives you whatever you put into it.
If you're in ministry, especially with youth or young adults, social networking is practically a must. Find out what network your people are involved in (these days it's probably either Facebook or Twitter), and get involved with them there, as well as in person. Even if you don't see results immediately, the payoff will come.
I understand not having the time that other people find for it, but invest a little bit in social networking, and the impact can be huge.
Now if I could just get my friend to join Twitter.... hmmm.....
