LinkedIn for Telecommuters

Web Worker Daily is running a nice article on the web 2.0 site, LinkedIn and specifically how it can help telecommuters. For those of you who do not know, LinkedIn is somewhat like a MySpace for business networking. You can set up a profile and connect with others. There are over 11 million users of the service, so there is a good chance some of your friends are already there. Here is an excerpt from the article:

“If the number of requests to join LinkedIn, the business networking network, that clog your email inbox is any indication, then you know it is becoming a legitimate business tool, and one that most professionals need to effectively leverage to boost their professional prospects. LinkedIn, in fact is a web worker’s best professional friend.

And although it’s just one of many such networks, LinkedIn, is in short a network for business opportunities. On LinkedIn, people don’t chat about music or what they did on Saturday night, but instead focus on opportunities and how the network can help you. And that’s a winning formula. Here are just some of the most common and productive uses of LinkedIn.”
