I just joined LinkedIn too and was disappointed that our industry wasn't better represented. I chose Management Consultant...probably not the use they were intending it for but I feel it's true!

You're all welcome to add me as a contact...I feel kind of lonely with one connection!

I'll send LinkedIn feedback/suggestions too. Maybe they will get tired of hearing from us and just add it in! LOL! :cool:

I'll add you right now Kari!

Thank you Shari!! Now I'm up to two connections!

Hi Kari, I added you too.

Every one add me : http://www.linkedin.com/in/officemagic

I've also requested they add administration as a field but no luck as yet.

I think I chose Internet technologies.

I've been an active member for a year now and have been very successful with it. You need to join some of the membership groups to get real benefit and get to know the people you are linked to. I would be one of the highest linked VAs at LinkedIn (number 4 I think) and have been able to do podcasts, gain new clients, get new team members, met people when travelling overseas, and found new resources for my business, all through LinkedIn. One of the best discussion forums has over 5,000 members and is very active - it's run via yahoogroups.com.

My profile is http://www.linkedin.com/in/kathiethomas and you should be able to see all the groups I belong to there - I don't participate in daily chats with them all.

Kathie,

I love that MSNBC report on your site. I didn't know we were getting such exposure! Thanks for putting that up!

You're most welcome. The media is taking interest in us - this one happened in the US. Something is happening here in Australia that might produce a similar report - I'm just waiting for a phone call from a TV channel as a result of conversations last week here.

Wonderful. That brings up an interesting point and I just may have to post a new thread about it.

Thanks again.
