Linked In

I just discovered some great new applications that Linked In is offering to members. I’ve linked my absolute favorite here With this one you can link your blog directly to your profile so not only can people look at your statistics in your profile they can also check out any blog posts at Blogspot that you’ve made lately.

There are several other applications that look worth trying as well. including
One here for WordPress Blogs
Your Reading List by Amazon .

Just look to the bottom right of your profile page and you’ll see an add applications button.

If you aren’t on Linked In yet, you should be. I think it’s the #1 “Social Networking”  sites that all professionals should be on. It is more geared towards business than it’s cousin Facebook.  You can search by topic, location to find folks you might be interested in networking with, there are 100′s of groups you can add for things you are interested in in your personal life and in your business life.
