Are you LinkedIn? Online Networking at it’s best!
As a member of Automation Alley’s social media subcommittee, I recently helped organize a teaching event on LinkedIn. Biznet’s Dave Biskner, Networked Inc’s Terry Bean and Interotext’s Beverly Cornell spoke business applications of LinkedIn. Ann Kucera (Baker College) is the subcommittee chair and moderated the event.
Listen to the Podcast:
Getting LinkedIn
(Thanks to Jeremiah (Portage Media) for producing the podcast)
When used the right way, LinkedIn and other social media tools can be leveraged for effective business use, including networking and research! Unfortunately, many users aren’t familiar with the tools or faux pas of such media types.
Here’s a few hints:
- Link to those who know you well and give/get recommendations
- Always personalize your inital requests to connect with a reference to how you know them
- Use message boards (such as LinkedIn’s Question & Answer board) to leverage your network

I heard of Linked IN from a Freep article and then I was browsing groups and people and then I found Motor City Connect. That is what changed my life and changed my networking and basically changed the way that I think of thigns and basically changed the way that I approach everything. I think it is a great way to connect and use Social Media.
