Are you LinkedIn? Online Networking at it's best!

As a member of Automation Alley’s social media subcommittee, I recently helped organize a teaching event on LinkedIn. Biznet’s Dave Biskner, Networked Inc’s Terry Bean and Iterotext’s Beverly Cornell spoke business applications of LinkedIn. Ann Kucera (Baker College) is the subcommittee chair and moderated the event.

Listen to the Podcast:
Getting LinkedIn
(Thanks to Jeremiah (Portage Media) for producing the podcast)

When used the right way, LinkedIn and other social media tools can be leveraged for effective business use, including networking and research! Unfortunately, many users aren’t familiar with the tools or faux pas of such media types.

Here’s a few hints:

• Link to those who know you well and give/get recommendations
• Always personalize your inital requests to connect with a reference to how you know them
• Use message boards (such as LinkedIn’s Question & Answer board) to leverage your network

Be Sociable, Share!
