Tapping the Power of LinkedIn
Social Networking options are confusing.
Just how many hours a day to devote to which ones? How to create and develop your presence on those you frequent? How NOT to come off looking like a bonehead in your early efforts? These are just a few of the challenges in learning to navigate these heavily populated areas of the internet.

My favorite professional hangout right now is LinkedIn. The most compelling feature there is the Q&A. If you haven’t tried it, you should.
Read this terrific post: “Why is LinkedIn Answers so Useful?“, by Zale Tabakman, who publishes Success Through Balance. Zale makes a great case for using LinkedIn Answers, and he tells you exactly how to get started.
LinkedIn Fan’s Blog Spot, by Ehab Elagaty is another wonderful intro to LinkedIn.
Hope to see you there! Click on MY LinkedIn profile link (at top right) and let’s get acquainted.
