I just took a class on LinkedIn last week. I have been doing a lot of traditional networking and found that it is a great way to keep up with the contacts that I meet at networking events. From last week's events, three of the people I met asked to set up appointments to learn more about my business after we connected on LinkedIn. As with any tool, if you use it correctly it really does work.
Best wishes,
