Guy,

You're on LinkedIn? Me too! :) I shall have to find you and see if we
can connect.

I like LinkedIn's interface and user setup. It's very easy to use and
you can take advantage of most of the functions without having to
trade up to the paid version. I am unfamiliar with the other tools you
mentioned, but I'll have to check them out.

As to how well it works in terms of finding jobs and contacts, I've
certainly found a good amount of interesting potential business
partners and colleagues with it, and I've gotten my friends and family
using it too. If and when it actually gets me a job, I'll let you
know.

Martin
