Social Media on Linked In

January 26th, 2010

We’re getting more people clicking in through our Linked In account.  Not totally sold on this site yet – because Linked In only wants you to connect with the same people that you already know well.   In fact, if you connect with people you don’t know well,  and someone says they don’t know you well, then they’ll make you insert their email address from your own records to prove you know them.  So, it’s probably just as easy to connect offline or through email.  The question is, does displaying a list of some of the people with whom you associate out in the public domain help you?   I would think this could be used for competitive intelligence – which may or may not be a good thing, depending on what side of the fence you are on.   Anyone out there gotten business through Linked In yet?  Let me know!
