    Great information! We’ve had at least one client come to us through LinkedIn!

    I should spend more time on there. 🙂

    I don’t see LinkedIn as a Social Network. 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

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

    Great article Tom thanks for the info. 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.
