Anyone else on LinkedIn?

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know

I’m in the process of updating my contacts in light of some of the people I met at Les Blogs. After playing around with the service, I’ve come across some other people I know that I didn’t think were on the network.

If you happen to be reading this and want to connect, leave a comment or send me an email because I’m not in the habit of using the service a lot at the moment.

    I’ve never used one of these social networking apps Piaras but after the geek dinner in Cork I think it would be a good way of keeping in contact with the numerous interesting bloggers I was speaking with, including yourself. So you’d recommend LinkedIn as the best one to use?

    I have an account at linkedin but to be honest i never use it. I think it was fashionable for a while, but it did not have much staying power.

    James - Yeah, everyone I’ve met at these gigs seem to have an accont with them

    Brian - I don’t use it that often, but in terms of staying power it seems to have quite a few influentials signed up

    Don’t blogs and blogrolls do just a good job with social networking?

    For interaction? - yes
    For networking? - no. Just because you’re not on my blogroll doesn’t mean you wouldn’t be of interest to me. My blogroll is often just a tip of what I’m reading at the moment.

    Well I first signed up for another networking service about 2 years ago (don’t recall which one) but I’m glad that Piaras has re-introduced me. LinkedIn is impressive IMHO. I’ve already gleaned very interesting info from it and filled in many gaps in my knowledge about people in ‘my network’.

    Like Damien, I was of the opinion that blogging networks had superseded the whole centralised networking model but I can now see the advantages and benefits of a system like LinkeIn.

    I realise what I’m after posting last seems to contradict my first comment but, to clarify, I signed up for one of those service (wish I could remember which) but never actually used it. I just couldn’t figure out what it was for! Everyone else was doing it so….
