LinkedIn Gaining Popularity.....Sort Of

Today's LinkedIn workshop was very basic.  I have been using linkedin for awhile now so I learned nothing new, but I did find it interesting and encouraging that the university is now pushing students to join and get connected on linkedin.  I also think that it should be broadcasted that Linkedin is not meant to be a replacement for personal networking and in person meetings, but it is most effective when used to augment one's existing and potential personal relationships.  There were still only 3 other students there and I am still thoroughly surprised when I hear other IIT majors that do not use it but it only cripples their chances and increases mine!
