I have a listing on LinkedIN and have kept that strictly for business connections with limited success.. These forums provide enough 'social' networking for what I have the time or the patience for.

I use LinkedIN for business and my wife talked me into a Facebook page for personal stuff. I never check on either one much though.

I personally think that ANY form of networking is better than none. I use facebook, linkedin, and some others... I have gotten a few jobs from FB, I would definitely use these free services to your advantage............. BRANDING, ladies and Gentlemen, get your name in front of as many people as possible, until they get sick of seeing it. I stopped concentrating on marketing for a little while and it hurt bad... never stop selling....always be closing...............

You are absolutely right!!
If I didn't have something on FB I never would have met you Nitrox...
Not only that and this a personal unabashed plug here... YOUTUBE!!!!!
Perhaps the best FREE marketing there is out there.
I have gotten 4 well paying clients in the last 3 months just from people seeing my youtube videos. Even have something in the works over seas.
The net is an invaluable (free) tool to market yourselves. If you don't have at least a BlackBerry to keep in touch with your clients, as well as your office, when you are in the field, then you are missing out.

I absolutely agree! You never know who and what is out there. I have never really had any luck using LinkedIn, but have had great luck with Facebook and Twitter.
