Networking

I've gotten onto this networking kick lately. I like to keep tabs on all my former co-workers (I have lots of them -- I'm a bit of a survivor in my office). I like to see what I can do for them or what the buzz is. So a number of months ago I discovered this online professional networking site called LinkedIn, basically designed to help you get to know people you might need to know at some point in your career. You can connect with other people, then potentially get introduced to their connections, up to three degrees of separation.

I've been working on this for a while, and was rather stunned lately to find that my LinkedIn network contains a grand total of just over 176,200 professionals. I've been successful at finding people who work at several companies I've been trying to research, and it's been a really useful tool.

I added the LinkedIn button on the lower left of the page. Join the fun if you dare :-)
