At first, I didn't really see the point of LinkedIn, mainly due to the user format not being to my liking but after I updated my profile, created a group for 'Authors of Women's Fiction' only and started to get connections, I could see it was the more professional version to 'Facebook's Branchout' app.
Like Twitter, it felt great to get my first view connections and after that it felt especially rewarding as they were all people with the same passion as myself and with their hints, tips and experiences, were able to help me with problems I didn't even think about occurring.
What I also like about this site is that it can link all messages with your Twitter account automatically and although other social networking sites do this, LinkedIn seems to do this easier because as soon as you put your Twitter username on your profile, it doesn't need to keep asking you for your details and at the moment it seems to link all your messages and not leave some out (like Facebook has been doing on my fan page which is very annoying!).
All - in -all, if you are on Branchout or want to connect to more influential people in the writing world, I would recommend this website as it is (now) easy to use, gives you many ways to promote yourself and your work and it's reputation proceeds the others at the moment.
