Using LinkedIn?
Do you used LinkedIn? Yes, it's another "social networking" site but it is for professional networking specifically. A lot of people use this site in much more "careful" ways, i.e, they do not just "friend" anyone and everyone.... For one thing, you probably don't want to do that because people can "recommend" you and you would only want people you WANT to be recommending you...
I personally only link to people I know either personally or through the profession. I am fairly certain most people use it this way. In other words, if you sign up, don't go around adding or requesting EVERYONE and if you aren't added (or linked to) by someone, don't take it personally.
It is a good site I think for professional networking and you can also use it to post and find jobs and services.... and "market" yourself, as well as to research companies and people.
Today I found (via several different places) some tips to make LinkedIn more effective.
If you're not using it, you may want to take a look at it and try these tips.
