Surprisingly I have been seeing some respectable activity occurring with Plaxo Pulse. A lot of people seem to be investing in building their networks there. Great article Tom thanks for the info.

I think it's helpful for credibility but I haven't found it drives people to buy my services. I’ve been on LinkedIn for a while with over 80 good quality connections.

LinkedIn is very static and maybe great for head hunters or people between jobs, but as a small business owner it doesn't help me to expand my network. If you look for something professional like LinkedIn and more interactive like Facebook then check out htp://www.xing.com or http://www.konnects.com I agree with Wayne.

Thanks for putting this together. I agree that LinkedIn is king for business social networking. Facebook is getting a ton of press, but I think it is just not set up for business. See this article I wrote on the topic. http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/2337/Facebook-Needs-to-Graduate-from-College-to-the-Real-World-to-Beat-LinkedIn.aspx Great stats!

It's more like an interactive CV / resume than anything else. While this might just be more of a reflection of the people I know, but when I ask around, I've yet to find anyone who's gained any work or job placement directly or indirectly via LinkedIn. I'm on there — just for completeness more than anything else — but I certainly don't see LinkedIn as a driver of either traffic or a builder of authority. But again, this may just be me...
