LinkedIn

This week's assignment seems to have come at just the right time. I don't have a MySpace or Facebook page, although my son and husband both have MySpace logins that we use for keeping in touch with family. My son links up with his friends and cousins who are all over the country. A couple of days ago, an HR colleague in another library system invited me to join her on LinkedIn. If I hadn't just read this week's blog, I wouldn't have known what LinkedIn was all about. So, I've joined and just started exploring the features of LinkedIn. It will be interesting to see if I am able to connect with former colleagues, etc. I think this will have a definite use for our group of library HR professionals--we already have an email group, but I think LinkedIn might be a better path to share information with each other. We'll see how it goes.
