Recommended by Davey Winder recently, Linkedin appeared to me to be “just another” Friends Reunited. However, having signed up and used it for the past day or so – I’d have to say I’m impressed already.The idea is simple. After signing up, you make a list of your Professional experience, achievements and goals and then invite business contacts and current and ex-colleagues to do the same. When they join, they invite their business contacts and so on. Pretty soon, friends or friends and contacts of contacts become visible to you, many of whom you may find are people you’d like to do business with or visa-versa.In a nutshell, imagine going to a party where everybody brings everyone they know in business and introduces them to everyone else.The site is much more than, and has some handy Firefox Search bar and Microsoft Outlook plugin’s too.
