If ever there was proof that LinkedIn is really a social networking system for people in full time jobs, this is it. I added a job of “freelance journalist” to my profile. I also noted that I was self-employed. LinkedIn then came back and told me that there were 12 other people who worked for that company on their system that I might like to connect with. (And interestingly one of them was David Levine.)
LinkedIn has managed to put me back in touch with various people that I’ve lost touch with from previous phases of my life, so it does have its uses. However, I think I’m going to take a look at Biznik. From what they say, they seem rather more in tune with the modern world.
ROFL! So how are your colleagues from the company of Freelance Journalist? 😉
You wouldn’t believe the company politics around here. Everyone thinks they are the chief executive.
LOL! BTW the subscribe-to-comments e-mail thing worked fine for me.
This really illustrates well, the fact that LinkedIn is a tool for corporate job seekers. Biznik on the other hand is a community of independent business people looking to connect with other indie business people. Hope to see you there.
