A popular social media tactic for small businesses is to establish and build a corporate presence on LinkedIn. Has this helped your business? Did you get any new leads? What do you think?
I think for most businesses, Linkedin presence is a necessity. It extends reach, opens doors to new potential customers and, when your employees establish profiles and begin answering questions in forums, they build their reputation as experts in certain areas and likewise help to improve the perception of your company as one that has a specific knowledgebase and expertise in certain areas.

Another beneficial feature of the LinkedIn service is the testimonials which helped me to some extent. When you provide a service to another member of the community, or your network, they can leave a testimonial of how you performed.

I am hoping that they start adding functionality to the company pages. If they do it will make Linkedin a must, something that business ignore at their own peril.

If LinkedIn does increase functionality, LinkedIn has to be careful that it wont become a Myspace in this regards. One reason on why Facebook is very successful is that pages, even business pages, are restricted in their design.
