Looks like I’ll be spending a lot more time talking about Linkedin in the coming months. Although the network isn’t as large as Facebook, it clearly has the advantage when it comes to B2B models. The only place it takes a major hit is higher education and retail, which actually makes sense.

Personally I find Linkedin more complicated than Facebook, so I gravitate towards that tool. I suspect other small business owners feel the same way. However, if you have a B2B model, best to sharpen your online digital pencil and study up on Linkedin.
