Thanks for your comments folks, I live LinkedIn for what it is and for the powerful connections that it can generate.

And, >>Daltonssbriefss: Twitter can be very fast in getting answers, and I use it too. But I like to use LI Q&A b/c it gets out to a wider audience, outside the “echo chamber”

Great post Stephen – this is one of my favorites on LinkedIn. It is quite versatile, even though it’s seemingly simple.

Also, I agree with Barbara that we need to have some kind of traditional contact management system – she uses Highrise, I own and use JibberJobber – the point is, use a real CRM so that you can actually work on nurturing relationships, not just collect connections and never do anything with them.

This is great advice on using a very powerful tool! The power of Linkedin is that it’s makes you a constant applicant to potential employers. Sooner or later, that one job you really want will be available, or that one perfect team member that you need to hire has to be found. I like the fact that Linkedin converts this usually intensive search, to a more passive one. Great post!

This is quite a post, Stephen! Making LinkedIn your home page is a great idea that puts you in touch with your network every day. Also like your suggestion of using Highrise HQ to manage contacts
.
From a PR perspective, asking and answering questions on LinkedIn gets you visibility and exposure you can’t get anywhere else. Inside this collaborative communications system, you can generate your own blend of contacts for business, blogging, resources and networking. Reading your post was a reminder for me to be more active on LinkedIn – thanks!
