Linkedin: Much Ado About A Million Or Two
A Brief Meditative Contemplation About Extraordinary Potential
I think Linkedin is better than Linkedin thinks it is.
Surprising statement perhaps. But bear with me for a moment.
You see I believe I look at Linkedin a bit differently than most people do.
I haven’t talked with Linkedin about specific numbers and I intentionally didn’t invest the time to do exhaustive research on specific numbers.
Those two things aside, let’s take some very broad numbers and contemplate some things that make them worth considering. Things that make you go, “Hmmmm!!!” At least they do that for me! :-)
If we say that Linkedin is a networking environment for business professionals and then say that the average Linkedin member has 10 years of experience and then say that there are now 2.5 million users, that’s a total of 25 MILLION YEARS OF WORK EXPERIENCE!
Sitting there.
Sort of like oil fields, or goldmines, or spice islands, or “acres of diamonds”.
Just sitting there.
Hmmmm!!!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but if my memory serves me correctly, I believe it only took 962 person years to build New York’s Empire Station Building.
If there are 25 Million years worth of experience on Linkedin, that could mean:
hundreds of thousands of years of business building experience
thousands of years of artistic experience
thousands of years of computer experience
thousands of years of entertainment experience
thousands of years of medical experience
thousands of years of nonprofit experience
thousands of years of scientific experience
thousands upon thousands of years of communication experience
thousands upon thousands of years of executive leadership experience
thousands upon thousands of years of problem resolution experience
hundreds of thousands of years of teaching & coaching & counseling experience
MILLIONS of years of networking experience
Hmmmm!!! I wonder what would happen if those thousands, if those hundreds of thousands, if those thousands upon thousands, if those MILLIONS of years of experience could talk, could communicate, could be put to SOME USE?
I wonder and I wonder and I wonder!!!
Hmmmm!!!

Vincent, please ignore my post to the forum
I meant to send a private email to Danny Faught but, I believe, send
it to the message board in error. Please delete it.
Sorry for the mixup,

My Linkedin Power Forum Announces My Linkedin Power TEAM!
Yahoo! Groups : MyLinkedinPowerForum Messages : Message 1555 of 1570: "Announces
My Linkedin Power Team
4.18.2005
In the spirit of networking, I am happy to announce the creation of a small group to help in the growth, nurturance, and direction of My Linkedin Power Forum!
This group will help in the creation of guiding principles, documentation, and polls to help My Linkedin Power Forum reach consensus of opinion on matters pertaining to Linkedin, networking in general, and My Linkedin Power Forum in particular.
The team will help us maximize the great window of opportunity we have to nurture our careers and businesses via Linkedin.
Konstantin Guericke has not only given his blessing to the creation of the new leadership team but has offered to do a teleconference with the group on Wednesday, April 27th at 3 PM PST. (The group membership will be finalized by then and will be announced here. However, there�s still room for one or two more so please let me know if you have 2+ hours a month to help out.)
I�m hoping that this will turn into a �dream team� of Linkedin evangelists and networking generalists to help us power up our networking through the best usage of My Linkedin Power Forum.
THANKS!

"L.O.N.D.O.N." (Lots Of NETWORKING Develops Our Networks)
My networking friends,
Let's think of L.O.N.D.O.N. when we think of our networks because without NETWORKING, I'm of the mind that networks can't develop much of any thing.
But, rather, let's you and I, my friends, be in a "L.O.N.D.O.N." frame of mind, because,
"Lots Of NETWORKING Develops Our Networks"
And when Lots Of NETWORKING Develops Our Networks, our networks can develop lots of ANY thing!! J
