If you believe it is true that it’s not what you know, but who you know that counts, than you need to check out LinkedIn. My friend Doug Dockery invited me to LinkedIn a while back. I went ahead and created an account, but really did nothing more with it. Yesterday, they sent me a reminder email, and I decided to take a closer look at the service. I was really impressed, and proceeded to invite several of my colleagues and friends to join my network. Granted, I am waaayyy behind the early adoption curve on this one, but still I think there might be many out there who have never heard of it. LinkedIn is a professional networking site that puts you in contact with your friends and colleagues, their friends and colleagues, their friends and colleagues, probably Kevin Bacon, probably his friends, and then puts them all in touch with you. Truly a valuable resource for anyone in business today. Getting set up is simple and takes only a few minutes. Give it a look for yourself.
I completely forgot I had a profile page set-up on LinkedIn until I got your invite. It’s a good thing, because it needed some updating. Thanks!
