Re: LinkedIn...Does anyone use this?
Sarah,
I use it. You can think of twitter and Linkedin this way -- if twitter can be viewed as a social party, then LinkedIn is a professional conference. LinkedIn is a place where professionals go to make contact with colleagues, rekindle contact with former colleagues and to keep tabs on happenings at companies of interest.
After you set up your profile, import your connections and join groups, participate in the Group discussions like you do on this Forum. Keep adding to new connections as you go along. Just like Forums, participation is key, so people get to know you as the go-to person in your niche. As mentioned, a side benefit is that you get a backlink to your site or blog, plus it's one more strand on the web where folks can come in contact with your message.
