Within about three days of eachother I had two or three invitations to get LinkedIn - added as a member of someone's profile. So I finally decided to take a look. LinkedIn is an online networking tool - it's power is in how easy it is to find a close friend that knows someone you have been trying to meet, such as an owner of a lucrative lcoal business. Great for networking.
I have attended a networking group for about two and a half years, and got to know the members well, but never good enough to know who they rubbed shoulders with. Within 30 minutes using this tool, I was able to find which of my close friend's knew the business owners that I have wanted to reach.
In a way, this site is a business owner's version of MySpace - more business networking instead of social networking.
