When I teach Social Media classes to small businesses, I can always count on someone in the audience to ask a question that goes a little something like this: "I've got limited time to invest in social media, but there seem to be a million sites out there. How do I know which one is worth my time? If I only have time for one, which one should it be?" Well I generally try to weasel out of that question by telling them I'd use both LinkedIn AND Twitter, the truth is if I had to pick just one, LinkedIn would win, hands down. Let me tell you why.

I think picking the right social media sites and investing time consistently would reap the benefits.

Linked is is a great site. It's has many different elements, like the questions and answers section that make it more than just a connection and messaging site like Twitter.

LinkedIn > Twitter all day long!

Outside of it's tenure in the market, the main reason I like LinkedIn is that it is the social media site most focused on professional connections.

The add ons of groups, Q/A, recommendations, etc. make it that much more valuable for identifying professional connections when I need to find a resource within my network.
