I would also add, it is very easy to create a company site on facebook. You can then invite your friends to become "fans" of your site. Your company facebook site will then be listed on these friends' profiles.

Another great post - thanks for sharing. What an interesting "experiment." Actually, you did make more than just a "small effort." You took a Sunday afternoon to write 25 endorsements. That's more time than many people are willing to take to see this remarkable secret in action. I, like you, have felt the same way about LinkedIn and the like, but as I blog on, I'm beginning to see more value in these type of sites. I much more prefer the blogging world ... I feel it's a little more informative, but not as personal as the social networking sites where you are actually aligning yourself with people you personally know (whereas you and I, for instance, have never met). Still, it takes time to sit at a computer and string together these words - and in centuries past, people conducting meaningful connections via the simple act of letter writing. Let us not forget the power of the written word. It is even more powerful when coupled with human contact, the "personal" factor. A lunch date. A breakfast meeting. Dropping by the office to say "hi." Maybe I'll write a few endorsements this Sunday ... you've got me thinking! Mark, hi! Another great post - thanks for sharing.
