Are you Linked In?

Lots of people in the research community are on Linked In (http://www.linkedin.com/). It’s kinda like Facebook but focuses on work rather than babies, holidays and inane quiz games.

My recent survey of researchers on Linked In found that some people use it for head-hunting, but most people use it for nothing at all.

So let’s give this thing some life. Join the 100 Stories group on Linked In (http://www.linkedin.com/groups?about=&gid=2181687&trk=anet_ug_grppro) and you’ll be able to connect with other delegates or members of the research community – before, during and after the conference.

Happy social networking!

@ 10 Aug - 30+ ppl in the group already - c'mon, you know you want to

I'm in the "most people use Linked-in for nothing at all" category. But it's kind of nice to know you can immortalise yourself for a few minutes of online fame anyway. Plus it's useful for finding out where your contacts have gone to their next job.
