Recently I was introduced to a social networking website
called LinkedIn and I think it is very important for anyone working in the
business field to know about it. LinkedIn has become one of the fastest growing
social networking sites in the world. It is not as big as its competitors
Facebook and Twitter are; however, it has an advantage by being unique and
catering to business professionals. LinkedIn is basically the Facebook of
business. LinkedIn is a site where you can keep a professional profile of
yourself and you can stay in touch with past and present colleagues and
classmates by having the ability to find them quickly. On LinkedIn you can look
for career opportunities, win new clients, and even build your professional
reputation. The site connects you to jobs, sales leads and ideal business
partners. In 2010 the number of people searches on LinkedIn was 2 billion and
the site has over 120 million members and counting. This goes to show you that
many people in the business world are using it. LinkedIn is a great place to
market yourself and if you don't have a LinkedIn account already, you should
consider creating one.
Do you have a LinkedIn account? If you do, what
opportunities have you gained from it? If you do not have a LinkedIn account,
are you going to consider getting one and what do you hope to gain from it?
