Participate unselfishly and ask yourself: "can my avatar provide true value to the members of this community?" Choose 1 or 2 communities and immerse yourself in building your profile in it/them. Learn how each community's profile indexes organically. Keep in mind not to get sucked into personalized search. SEOmoz has SEO Tools that categorize various social site and their values for different endeavors. I recommend you subscribe and familiarize yourself with the list of social communities.

And naturally, links from a spammy looking profile will damage your sites brand and credibility in the eyes of users and eventually the search engines whenever the algo catches on. So its good to always be branding, if your content is legit. But dont screw up your credibility by creating profiles just for the links. Social media is way more valueable than that.

As for rep mgt, it makes tons of sense. But like anything else- the early adopters of this strategy will take the most advantage.
