LinkedIn.com is a phenomenal professional relationship tool that fits a much needed gap in the social media genre of the internet. LinkedIn is not like MySpace or FaceBook in the context that you can show your online personality. It is a level playing field where you show your professional experience and connect with people you are working with or have worked with in the past.

According to LinkedIn.com, the site is home to over 80 million professionals from around the world in 175 industries. It is free to create a profile and start working on building your network. As you build your network you begin to see how your network will begin to form. “Your network consists of your connections, your connections’ connections, and the people they know, linking you to thousands of qualified professionals.” As you start to build your network you can us your contacts to find a new job, look for new business opportunities, find potential clients, be introduced to other professionals through people you know, ask questions to subject-matter experts and read people’s recommendations.
