“Linked In.” The name says it all. When we feel part of something, we are linked in. There is a common bond. A bond to get to know one another. We bring people together. 

Have you ever gone to a conference? If so, why did you go? Sure, there are some good guest speakers and keynotes. You take some notes during the speech and feel inspired. Then you gather in the common areas or sit down for meals with others and talk about what you heard. There is a common bond and you share thoughts and ideas. Quite simply, your networking. That’s what LinkedIn is. It is networking. You share thoughts and ideas electronically. You get to know one another. In fact, you can sit and take notes as you look at profiles and network with one another, the same as you would at a conference. Linkedin is a very useful means to discover people in business you’re seeking in a specific job category. If your company is looking for a person in business administration, you can query just that, business administration. Of course, you would search for someone in a specific geographic area. People with such skills for that position will be displayed. Or, on the reverse, a person searching for a job in business administration can search companies, to see what companies are hiring.  

Networking, in one nice bundle, LinkedIn so you can feel "linked in."
