Default Re: LinkedIn...Does anyone use this?

I am a little confused on Twitter as well but there are plenty of threads on here about Twitter that I am going to read.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Sarah
Sarah,
At the very basic level, LinkedIn is for networking. You can build a friend list of diverse resources. Down the road, let's say you need a realtor. You go to LinkedIn, look at your list and may be able to utilize that realtor in your friend list. Or someone you have linked with may need a VA in the future or know someone who does and will refer them to you since they are linked to you. It's a who ya know thing. Run with the other features from there.
