LinkedIn is a must these days, you can’t really go bad with it. As you noted, whether it is people search or just staying in touch LinkedIn really has it all. It also shines when it comes to spreading and increasing your network base. Also, being able to contact anybody for an answer you need is very useful.

Actually, with LinkedIn-Answers, there is now a fourth reason: It is the ability for a person to tap on or actually the knowledge in your own personal network.

This is of course assuming that you havve first linked up to some folks that you know to be very reliable. So even in the event that your first contact doesen’t know the right answer, their people down the chain can refer to other people who may be able to help you.

Scott,You are spot on with your three points. We must admit the fact that LinkedIn and other social networking websites do save us from obscurity. However, this can happen only when we keep on updating our profile on a regular basis. LinkedIn also provides us a unique privilege to expand our network with specified objective. We can control our action to a great deal. I also went through your “100+ Smart Ways to Use LinkedIn” which is full of information.

Thanks for the great article. I’ve been wanting to use LinkedIn but been a little skeptical that its not really what I am looking for. You make a lot of good points though about how you are able to easily meet and contact professionals in specific fields that could potentially help out your business. thanks again

A valid point, Maggie. There have been numerous reported instances of people setting up fake accounts, even, and certainly of people exaggerating on their profile. People develop a sense of trust that others won’t outright lie on their profile if they’re connected to other people they know. Unfortunately, there’s really no solid basis for this. Who regularly checks the profiles of people they’re connected to to see if they’re accurate? And would you disconnect from someone whose version of their job isn’t exactly as you remember it?

I think this is why recommendations are really important. True, they only show the positive, but still, it’s pretty hard to fake a large number of positive reviews, particularly if they’re very specific and not just, “Maggie’s a great gal. I’d love to work with her again.”

Hi there! I have been familiar with LinkedIn. I think it’s a very innovative way of getting people to boost business profit. However, how do employers know that the information displayed by people is right?

WAY beyond my technical understanding, but glad you got it straightened out.

Hello:

I recently began to have problems connecting to Linkedin, and can no longer connect anymore. I had tried using a proxy server and was successful a few times, but that won’t connect anymore either. Could you assist me by telling me what the issue is? I did a tracert and received more than 30 hops which made me wonder. However the contradiction of being able to connect through the proxy leaves questions.

Another thing I tried was clearing my coockies. This allowed me to connect but only for a couple of links afterwards. Am I being blocked on your server?

Thanks in advance.
