LinkedIn

Have you updated your profile lately? Have you checked out the groups? Have you joined any appropriate groups? Do you have your photo up. Have you included all e-mails in your account setup? You may be able to liken social networking to the PC back in 1980. Not many people saw the value of it. They even tried to stay away or deny it would grow. Some even thought it was merely a fad.



We know different now. Personal relationships are very useful and quite frankly better than non-personal. A bigger part to the social networking is what you can do for others. While I was in Washington DC last week I was able to connect a new contact with someone back in Oregon.



If you're not in LinkedIn, you should be. If you are in LinkedIn be sure you are keeping it updated and current. You might even become involved in some of the other social networking programs.
