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.

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.

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

I should spend more time on there. 🙂
