Thank you! The suggestions were very helpful. I’ve been “trying” to understand how best to utilize the different social networking sites and stay real.

Megan, Jacey and Alaina, thanks for being such awesome colleagues and visiting my blog! I hope I’m linked to all of you on LinkedIn, too. If not, let’s link up.

Awesome. I hadn’t realized the power of LinkedIn.

They need to work on their navigation … not intuitive to use Gen-Yers at all.

Lara,

A very insightful look into the real world of networking using LinkedIn. Thanks a lot for the tips, I find the first and the fourth to be the most valuable. How many times have I gotten business cards only to forget to follow through, and get valuable future business colleagues.

Great post, and quite a good blog too.

Take care,

Joseph Hurtado

Lara,
I am definitely going to keep the blog running. Being able to connect with people from all over and share each other’s opinions makes my blog my most useful tool as a student. Thank you for being an influential voice and helping me tap the surface of social media!

What a great compilation of LinkedIn tips and best practices. It’s still early in the game, and there will certainly be more uses and benefits, so join in if you haven’t already and most of all, participate.
