LinkedIn

Here is my public advocation for LinkedIn.  It is a social networking site that helps you build your professional contact list, linking you to businesses, professionals, alumni associations, etc.  I am still trying to figure out how it works, but I've already connected myself with 15 people including family, friends, co-workers, and professors.  I was surprised to see how many people I knew were already connected with LinkedIn.  I am still working out how to navigate it exactly and how to utilize all its various resources.  It has been another one of my attempts to get social proof, but I believe it will help me throughout my educational and future professional career.  If you haven't set up an account, I recommend it!
