I am going out on a limb here and saying that right now I believe Linkedin to be the most undervalued tool many of us have in our social networking belt. Twitter this and Facebook that but whether you are looking for a job, friend, ex-coworker or a sale to close the month it has the easiest and probably most productive platform of what I have seen so far. Now, I admit that I have had an account for over a year now and just over the past 2 weeks really been digging into the capabilities of this site and encourage you to do the same!
Some interesting things to check out:
1. Search capabilites by industry and company (also tells you how far down the connection line you are to them)
2. See who has viewed your profile (specifics available for the premier member)
3. Q&A section...lets you post and answer questions from others. They have a ranking system that gives incentives for people to take time and answer truthfully so some great free advice is possible.
Take some time and revisit your page update and make a few connections a day. I can think of much less effective ways to spend 15 minutes!
