How Do You Use LinkedIn?

I joined LinkedIn several years ago and until recently didn’t use it very much. We’ve decided at EPI to bolster our LinkedIn profiles and start making more of the social media tool, so I’ve begun posting occasional status updates and have joined several groups, including Talent Management magazine and ASTD. I’ve also set up an application to import this blog.

Do you use LinkedIn? If so, what for and how often? If not, why not? While I still don’t see myself checking my LinkedIn page nearly as often as my Facebook page, for example, I do see it as part of my strategy for staying connected professionally.

Here are a few articles/websites about how and why LinkedIn can work for you.
