linkedin by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #3 Fri May 09, 2008 at 09:18:19 AM EST

I should consider joining, though my industry is pretty small.

It may be worth it. by ucblockhead (2.00 / 0) #9 Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:45:13 AM EST

I haven't decided. Yesterday I got an email from a former boss who I'd linked to on LinkedIn asking if I knew anyone who knew C and Python.

Though given that this is the guy known around our house as "the fucker who didn't pay me", the results are so far mixed.

That's the common name. I don't want to tar everyone else with the same name.

I joined by Phil the Canuck (2.00 / 0) #13 Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:57:25 AM EST

But only because someone invited me to be a contact. Maybe I should pay it some attention.

I don't have many professional social contacts by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #14 Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:59:34 AM EST

I have friends, real and virtual, who have a vague understanding of what I do, and co-workers that I don't socialize with.

Networking by ucblockhead (2.00 / 0) #16 Fri May 09, 2008 at 12:01:01 PM EST

I use mine almost entirely for people I've worked with, not people I've socialized with. It's a way of networking with people you don't want to have to actually talk to.

except for six months at a mailing software company, so most of the people I worked with are still affiliated with $corp.
