Addicted to LinkedIn

LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com) is one of several professional networking sites out there these days. I originally found out about it from a former VP of Engineering at CCPU, and have been growing my network of connections ever since. In addition to adding connections to friends and peers I was already in touch with it has enabled me to reconnect with other former classmates, coworkers, etc.. It has even led to a number of (unsolicited) job/career opportunities from recruiters...thinking back to the telecom nuclear winter of 2003, it would be interesting to see how technology like this might have altered the networking/job search that so many folks dealt with back then (not that I have any interest in reliving that!)

They recently added a new "Questions and Answers" feature that has been interesting to watch and participate in. One of the recent questions had to do with being a LinkedIn adict . For whatever reason I'd have to agree, and it has become another site I check daily along with public email, Illini sports updates, etc.
