Yes
From my personal experience you can benefit a lot.
Especially if you are new and you have loads of competitors then these communities can help you realize where you stand and what you need to do in terms of progress.
I am running a design and development company helping small businesses to get online. I always emphasize about social networking online but most of my clients do not realize the potential and neglect the fact that online social networking sites like facebook, twitter and others are free communities to grow your business. We integrate such services in existing websites as well. This really increases amount of people knowing your business and therefore increases the chance of getting noticed by potential customers. Definite increase in business.

For thousands of years communities have been trading and doing business without the need for formal networks being organised to facilitate discussions over breakfast about ways to generate business.

Scant consideration is given to the informal 'meetings' which take place every day in pubs, bars, at BBQs, etc between ordinary business folk.

I've received more free help, free advice, and business referrals from talking to people in informal settings than I ever could by paying to go to networking events and fending off those who are only interested in what they can get out of you rather than what they can contribute to the community.

As always it's about the relationships we build in order to cement a sense of community.
