Are you Linked In?

My children are on Facebook and recently I had heard that Facebook can be good for business so I got a Facebook account. I was very excited and found a few friends and one of my daughters agreed to be my friend and the other one, is a little embarrassed that I have my own and she won’t befriend me – teenagers . So after a little while of finding the youngest of my connections, and joining the team building group and the event group and theater and actor groups as a resource for our dinner theaters, I was starting to feel my age. Maybe my daughter was right, I needed to act my age. Then I found Linked In, kind of a Facebook for adults and I have been having great fun.

I am not sure exactly what I will continue to find on Linked In but I do encourage you to join. So far, the free membership has been great and I now have over 80 connections of people my age, in my industry, clients and other colleagues. I have had people write glowing recommendations for me and my team building company and I have also written recommendations for a few others. I have re-discovered former co-workers and an old friend from high school. I have posted a job and received responses and I have just recently written a new bio, joined some groups and I will continue to explore. Just last night I answered a question from a user looking for a culinary team building company. Linked In has me hooked.

If you are on it, feel free to connect to me and tell me how you’ve benefited from it. If you’re not on it, Link in, I think you’ll enjoy it!
