LinkedIN - how many folks use it?
I recently discovered linkedIN (actually, through a fellow FTer). Just wondering how many of us are listed and use this great service.
|
I'm there. So far no FTers, but I got an invite from one a few days ago and will accept.

Wow... nobody else? |
I'm listed because a friend encouraged me to do so, but don't actually use it. Occasionally I get an email inviting me to join someone's network, but I've never initiated contact with anyone.
Gaucho100K, what do you use linkedIN for? |

lm using it to get back in touch with former colleagues. lt may also be a way to get some business referrals, I have to see how that works out. |

I'm there - and quite a few of my colleagues and former colleagues. Happy to connect with FTers.
I am not yet convinced about its value in networking. |
I'm on it but don't really use it. If anybody wants to build their link numbers, invite me, I'll accept.
I did find some co-workers I lost touch of last week without even looking for them on linked in, it was kind of weird, it suggested several people I worked with. |
I'm on it and think it's useful as sort of a professional version of MySpace.
(BTW: there is a big thread in OMNI about LinkedIn with all the usual opinions.) |
I'm in because my company uses it, but personally I don't really like it. I much prefer www.xing.com , where there is a considerable group of FTers (search for Flyertalk in interests).

I use Linkedin.
|
And I have absolutely no clue what it is...:o
|
I'm there, but only have a dozen or so links. I don't use it for much, but I periodically look for folks I worked with in the past. I found one a couple months ago that I hadn't communicated with in over 15 years and I heard last week from a former co-worker that I had lost touch with at least 5 years ago.
|
I use it, primarily to keep up with what former colleagues are doing and do a bit of business networking, but I've also linked-in with a few FTers.
