Admittedly, I haven't spent My limited-effort experience with LinkedIn led me to believe services like this are a colossal waste of time. That may have been a big mistake. Jill Konrath wondered if LinkedIn could be used to sell to big companies and decided to ask her LinkedIn connections a simple question: As a seller, how do you use LinkedIn to increase your sales? Jill took the answers and turned them into an ebook. After reading the answers, I'm starting to rethink the whole LinkedIn opportunity. After reading this ebook, I expect many of you will as well. Here's where you can get it: CLICK HERE!. There's no cost to get the ebook and no registration is required. If you have a LinkedIn account, go ahead and connect to me. Who knows, maybe we can a find a way to make this thing work :-) Do you have a LinkedIn thought, opinion or experience to share?

Web networking and personal networking closer to the same thing than I thought.

This is a great read and shares a lot of very obvious information that shows just how closely related traditional networking ideas and web 2.0 networking ideas are. Although I doubt that it will ever be a replacement for personal connections, it seems to me that social networking sites like Linked-In are the cocktail parties and happy hours of the 21st century.

Great Resource! written by Aaron Stannard, June 18, 2008
Hey Jim,
I just read through this eBook and I think this is fantastic information! I just got on LinkedIn a couple of weeks ago and I've been trying to figure out how to actually use it to do business. I've been using LinkedIn Answers when it's relevant but this guide offers many better approaches to using LinkedIn. I might end up buying I'm On Linked In, Now What? too. report abuse
