Have you heard of Chamber.com? They are a social networking site. They look to be similar to LinkedIn but haven't been around that long so not as many members. I signed up for a free site for networking opportunities etc.... http://chamber.com/lynn-smythe. They have a feature that will automatically pull all your info from your LinkedIn page directly onto Chamber.com so you don't have to re-enter all that data.

Many businesses realize that having a website is not enough, and that they need to network with other similar businesses and clients through social networking. There are so many social networks to choose from, each with their speciality, and every one of them contributes to better marketing and market knowledge. On the other side of the coin, having a properly set up website hosted professionally with nearly 100% uptime is crucial, as you wouldn't want the potential clients that you direct to your website to encounter problems in interacting with your business, which would lead to loss of sales and bad reputation.
