At first glance, LinkedIn seems
to be a Facebook for business people. You add the few colleagues that you know,
and maybe read a few articles that it sends you via email. There’s some
occasional interesting insights; though many focus on companies that I’ve never
heard of and their strategies and stock results. Occasionally you find out that
a friend of yours has made a new business connection; though what it has to do
with you I’ve no idea. Maybe it’s through you, or maybe there’s an opportunity
that you can exploit. There’s also a hidden section on taking courses to improve
your skills. Many of these courses require a monthly fee; though there’s the
occasional freebie if you’re quick. But it may as well be a job advertising
site; though most employers prefer to use it as a link to their own job site so
that they have more control over searching for the attributes that they’re
looking for.
