Ecademy's Thomas Power PREFERS Linkedin OVER Ecademy!!

I just noticed something that's pretty startling to me: According to his Linkedin profile, Thomas Power, Chairman of Ecademy, seems to prefer LINKEDIN as his networking vehicle of choice!!

WOW!!!

Bear with me for a minute and read this entire little 60 second essay, ok?

I mean, though about 7 months ago I paid for an Ecademy PowerNetworker membership which runs out in August 2005, this revelation by Thomas Power caught me completely off guard!

And now I'm beginning to think I should have spent the past 7months focusing on building up my network on the same platform one of the most successful people in the field actually USES to build his own networking empire!

Because if ANYONE knows how to really compare Ecademy vs. Linkedin, it should be the Founder who owns Ecademy but who, according to the numbers, prefers Linkedin so much that he's worked VERY hard and devoted LOTS of his business time building the largest of his public networks by a margin of almost 2 to 1 contacts ON Linkedin - not Ecademy!!

WOW!!!

And since Thomas Power is well-known for his penchant for making more money, more money, more money, that says a LOT about the money making potential you, too, could find right now, right on Linkedin– FOR FREE!!! :-)

Now, I'm not the most brilliant man in the world, but if the number one networker on Linkedin who just happens to own a major competitor like Ecademy, labors to build SIX THOUSAND connections on a competitor's platform and has only 3,000 or so on his own competing platform where everybody knows his name, I'm going to follow his lead and also emphasize Linkedin over Ecademy so that I can make more money, too!! Wouldn't you?? Especially when I consider that Linkedin has 2 Million members AND – did I say? – it's FREE!!

I may be missing something here, so I'd LOVE to have your feedback on this.

Else, Linkedin networking*, here I come!!

Thanks, Thomas!
