LinkedIn : Business Networking

I’ve recently started inviting everyone I’ve worked with professionally to join LinkedIn.com, a business networking tool that is a nice mix of simple functionality and smart design.

The idea is essentially that your network of business contacts can help each other (and you) to land jobs and grow your businesses. This seems eminently practical to me! If I’ve worked with you and like working with you, and you know Bob and liked working with him, chances are I’ll also like working with Bob. At the least, I can always ask you for your candid opinion of him. 😉

If you know me professionally, feel free to sign up for LinkedIn, and if there is ever a business opportunity I can help you with, I’d be happy to do so.

(I’ll discuss Tribe.net in another post, but essentially it is another networking website that has more functionality and is based on personal rather than business networking – though it has elements of business networking as well.)
