LinkedIn Users?

[major_clanger]

Does anyone else here use LinkedIn? (Well, I know of at least one, who invited me, but are there more?)

me and nhw, certainly. It'd be good to get a livejournal/linkedin overlap going, there are a lot of interesting people with interesting jobs and strange contacts out there!

Always happy to 'connect' to anyone who even vaguely knows me.

Yes, I'm on there at my work-type address (which I think is the one you have). Feel free to link.

I'm on it, though I'm probably not wildly useful.

waveney is trying to fill in a profile at present, so if you send him an invite it might get him to finish the task. His profile is far more interesting than mine!

Look for Richard and Judith Proctor (Richard is the one listed as Waveney Consulting)

Me (under my real name, obv.)

daddy_guido does. (I doubt you know him; husband, father, computer guy, energetic local SMOF, ex-cop, raconteur.) I haven't responded to his entreaties to join his network. I suppose I should.

Well, I'm on there, I'm not sure I count as using it in the sense of having done more than added and been added by a few people. Under my real name, which I'm fairly sure you and Bug know.

Yup, I need to use it more as it has become one of the premier tools for getting new jobs in the tech sector. Good networking tool.

OK; there are a lot of people with your name on LinkedIn, so it might be easier if you invite me. (There are only a few Simon Bradshaw's, and it ought to be obvious which one I am.)

Got it, invite sent. Not sure if my current network helps you though.

As major_clanger says, diffiult to be sure which one of the many possibilities is you! But I guess you may be the person who is also linked to sbisson?

[daveon.livejournal.com]

That would be me, also for differentiation I'm the Account Manager in the mobile telecoms business.

[sbisson.livejournal.com]

Yes, I use it. I find it one of the better social networks out there...

[alexmc.livejournal.com]

I do, and am happy to recommend you :-)

Either send me an invite to one of my normal email addresses.

As redbird said, "use" is a tricky word for my participation: I'm on there but I don't really use it. I mainly joined because an ex-colleague bullied me into it. Not much point for me as it seems mainly good for job hunting and I'm not in that position and hope not to be in the foreseeable future! However, it has been fun to get contacted by colleagues from long-previous jobs from time to time; less fun to get invitations from people whom I've never heard of.

I'm on there too, but not in any active way (my only connection is the person who invited me). It's one of those places where it's not cool to be a stay at home mother!
