From my nearly 700 LinkedIn connections, I tapped a slew of entrepreneurs with more than 500 connections each about how they use the platform. The consensus: Time using LinkedIn is well-spent. Here’s what they said.

“My company has just joined the Microsoft Accelerator for Azure powered by TechStars and they have challenged us to do 100 customer discovery interviews in an amazingly short time frame. I’ve used LinkedIn for years and connected dutifully with people I’ve met with professionally, I’ve joined groups and followed them, but until recently I never really tried to mine the network for second level introductions – that is the part that has been interesting to me.”
