LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a contact networking service that allows you to be introduced to people known by your network. It was originally designed for business and professional use. You can set up a profile for free, but cannot effectively search for other people unless you upgrade to a paying account ($25/month minimum). Paying accounts can contact a few people outside their network each month, but any additional "inmails" are $10 each. If you want to use LinkedIn without fees, the best way is to accumulate a large network. You can also ask and answer questions on the site - which will increase your visibility on LinkedIn.
