I just got into LinkedIn (LI) thanks to Bert. I spent a good chunk of time putting together my profile. With an account less than twelve hours old, I have managed to make 13 connections on LI. My connections so far run the gamut from childhood friends I haven’t talked to in years to former employers and current colleagues. I even made a connection with my research adviser from IWU! I’m hoping that LI provides enough pervasiveness to be the only professional social network I need, because I do not have the time or energy to put into creating profiles and networks on four or five systems, and I don’t want to use Facebook or MySpace, either. We’ll see how my first real foray into social networking turns out. Feel free to join me, if you haven’t already.
