versus Facebook.com, etc. Facebook is meant to be social, personal:

like the Golf Course (or a BBQ party) LinkedIn is meant to be professional:

like the Conference Room (like this room)

There are niche networks, by profession:

- LegallyMinded.com: by the American Bar Association

- GreenPearl.com: for commercial real estate professionals

- ActiveRain.com: for residential real estate professionals

- There will be more… and is growing through the big 2.

How much time does it take? The same as “off-line” regular networking: 2 – 4 hours a week, or less? Boosts your regular networking,

e-newsletter, blogging, seminars, etc.

Remember: something is better than nothing. Worth it for those growing careers for next 5 yrs

Which step are you on now?1. Created an account

(probably responded Yes to someone else’s invitation.)

2. Filled out “some” of the profile (stuck on what else to do, and why)

3. Invited friends, some responded, some didn’t, don’t know what else to do

4. Got the basics going… what else can I do?
