Look at it this way:
What do you lose by joining a guild early? Nothing.
What do you gain by joining a guild early? Potential new contacts, you wouldn't otherwise have gotten, potential dungeon groups you otherwise wouldn't have gotten, potential pre-raid gearing groups, potential raiding guild eventually.
Are you certain to gain anything by joining a guild? No absolutely not. But you have a potential of gaining quite a lot, and in the absolute worst case scenario, you will have lost nothing. I like those odds.
