Oh look - its the office with external access and no blocks on LJ/similar. The joy of being in one of our own offices on and off, even for for the latest project of doom

I've only got an LJ account, though I've a lurking invite to Facebook from Tony that I'll take up one day, honest.
I've had this account for over 4 years and I don't see any reason not to still be using it in another 7. I'd like to keep recording Charles's development here, for a start. So that was my main reason, but the low exchange rate brought it below 80 pounds which didn't feel horrendously expensive.
I gave my remaining paid time to Tony, my remaining userpic time to another friend. I don't think I can give away any of my other 'bits', only that which I'd already paid for and would effectively be paying "twice over" for as it's covered by the permanent account.
I occasionally get badgered by a friend to join some kind of network that isn't LJ. Being agreeable, I go and join, then I never use it again. I prefer not to have a split online personality. :-)
If you have paid time remaining after you've bought a permanent account, there is a mechanism to give that to another user, but I can't remember what it is. I was lucky enough to be given a permanent account, and I did give someone the rest of my paid time.
I have this lj, a few back-up but unused accounts on things like multiply and greatestjournal, and a facebook account. Facebook I keep entirely separate from lj. The only people I know in rl on lj are people who I initially met either online, or through people I know online. Facebook is for people I know only in real life.
I have a permanent account because of an incredibly generous anonymous benefactor from the last sale. I don't think I'd have bought one for myself, though I hope that I will still be using this in seven years. That mostly depends on if the people I like stay around though.
My permanent account was actually a gift from knell. I have had my journal for over six years, though, so it's no great stretch to imagine that I'd still be using it in 2014. For someone like me (who lives a plane ride away from the majority of her acquaintances) it only makes sense.
As for other networking sites, I have an account on most of them (baaaa, etc.) but find myself looking at Facebook more often than I would expect to. I still haven't worked out why.
Yeah, I find myself on Facebook more often than I thought too. It just seems like there's more to do than on other sites with all the apps and stuff. I think it'd be a bit rubbish for blogging though.

Nothing about Orkut could possibly include anything as energetic as running.
