Blogging and LinkedIN

OK, This is my first attempt at starting a Blog. I have been following a few and think I should give it a run. We’ll see if it sticks?!

I got a couple of invites to join LinkedIN a few weeks ago and I started to use the tool. It did a few things for me:
1. Re-connected me with people I haven't talked to for a while
2. Started to show the size of network I have
3. Helped me understand that even if you are not looking for a new position, having your network in place is a good thing.

The tool itself is very cool; you can search and invite others into your network. Once you’ve gotten a good core group in your network you can see why the “six degrees of separation” theory has such a following. In the short time I have been on LinkedIN I have connected with 52 people I know (or have known in the past), that has translated to total network of 172,500 + that I can link to within 3 degrees. You can endorse others and other can endorse your work too.
