LinkedIN usage
By Glenn Younger

Although I understand the concerns with privacy, etc Belonging to LinkedIN and managing your profile is the only way to be available, and yet control how you are seen on LinkedIN. I too was wary, but once I used the LinkedIN tools to see those in my e-mail lists who are already LinkedIN members, it was easy to build a quick network.

I am not one of those folks who is trying to build a mega network. I just want to leverage my contacts. My direct contacts (a modest 104 members) give me access to over 405,000 people who know someone I know. If I needed to do a job search, the number of recruiters just within my network is amazing.

A truely great tool to help you get things done through others. Although I am involved with other groups (Ex:SPOKE) LinkedIN is the clear leader in tools and usability. I'd suggest to anyone to "jump in"
