I decided to start adding my personal contacts to LinkedIn. It seems that this service is winning the mindshare of contact management sites. The thing is, if it does grow even more, you aren’t “in” if your aren’t linked in. Guy Kawasaki one of my favorite “big brains” has written about it here:

How to Change the World: Ten Ways to Use LinkedIn

I have other people hit me with Plaxo and Card Scan databases. Those seem to be tied to MS Windows, and as a Mac guy its not for me. Even though my work is all Windows. I like that this service is all online.

Of course, the big benefit is for job search. I’m very happy here at D.I. but maybe I can help others in my network. I have reccommended a few others – and my previous three bosses are all on my list. That’s the nice part of being in a place like this now – freedom to network without the panic of having to.
