3.7 LINKED IN

I recently have become a member of the networking site LinkedIn. It is similiar to MySpace and Facebook, but is geared toward professionals. This site is very useful to promote yourself, keep in contact with colleagues, see what others in your field are doing, look for jobs, etc. This site enables people a way to interact with more people than ever before. Another useful feature of this site is that you can see who else is in your "network" (friends of friends basically). If you wanted to contact someone that you weren't linked directly to on the site you could see if one of your contacts was linked to that person and ask for an introduction or more information on the person. If this catches on with a lot of people, it will become an extremely useful tool.
