I agree with what you have said, and most of the comments... one thing I'd like to bring out is to create an intentional LinkedIn strategy... you can't merely sign up and then wonder why you aren't getting any value out of it! That's like going to a networking function and wondering why no one is talking to you ... and then saying it was useless... Jason Alba Author - I'm on LinkedIn -- Now What???

I have found this network invaluable for 2 things: 1) uncovering leads for my research and articles and 2) re-connecting with old business associates. In my upcoming book, I dedicate a chapter on the pros and cons of social media for B2B firms. I have 16 tips for maximizing your social media reach. In summary, my recommendation is to proceed pragmatically. Social media do NOT (yet) replace the power of person to person networking, speaking, commercially published books, and other marketing strategies. Buy an egg timer and limit your online networking to 10-15 minutes a day. That goes for Facebook, Ning, Twitter, LinkedIn, and others. -- Lisa Nirell http://blog.energizegrowth.com Hi Ford and Gary, Thank you for the positive mention in your LinkedIn article.

We were getting a lot of questions on the value of LinkedIn at generating leads, so word has not gotten out to our market. It may be less network sophisticated than yours. Also, we were looking for examples of professionals (lawyers, management consultants, accountants, architects, engineers, recruiters, etc.) actually getting leads from LinkedIn, and had not been able to get much information on that, though there is a lot of advice on using it for broader benefit. Word and use and subsequent information is spreading fast, though, and we may not have caught it all. A quick search following up on your comment turned up this useful post: http://www.captureprofits.com/blog/?p=148 This review turned up many articles that made one or more of the points in my post, but did not provide examples of lead generation for professionals. My post, rather than having a lot of original ideas, cuts to the chase for professionals, which I hope is helpful. Thanks for the suggestion on using status updates and apps. I had not seen these suggestions elsewhere. And it is always good to hear from you. Ford Harding Gautam:
