Adventures with LINKEDIN

One of my classes this semester is Web 2.0 A lot of the things that we go over, I was aware of. IE How to use the full Windows Office Suite. Word, Excel, and Access. And though there are few things in that portion that I was not already aware of. There are some things that I was not, and it is always good to expand your knowledge. The other section of this class, Shows things that I did not know existed, or had heard about here and there, Or started but never finished because other things got in the way... What those things are, I have no idea. but I digress. This weeks project was to start a linkedin.com account. I already have one, though I started it and did not finish it. This was a prime time to play around with it and see what else it may have. 

Groups: I was not aware that linkedin had groups. IE, you can do a search of things that interest you, and there might be a group about it. When I say might be, That is because I did not find many groups with the interests that I had when I did my original searches. Which in m y case, the groups that I searched are far more niche like. That said, I CAN start a group in this area, and see who joins. Another thing that I was not aware that linkedin was capable of.

Business: IE businesses you may be interested in working for. This was slightly familiar to me, I was vaguely aware that this was an option of linked in. But I was not aware to the extent.

All in All it was an interesting experience. and I suggest that everyone looks into linked in further.
