Interesting post, I have always been a big fan of LinkedIn!
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.

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.
