    Have had e-mails about possible work because of it, but have had also had calls trying to get business from me because of it (doesn't help that the switchboard will put people straight to me!!)

    Hate it when the professional networkers (only got mates in the virtual world) send me invites when I have never heard of them.

    Like it when someone I worked with years ago who I liked gets in touch

    Ditto - I've found some old colleagues who I'd lost touch with, but I've also had lots of junk in there as well.

    I do keep it up to date, so that people can see where I am working, and so that people can get hold of me easily. I also have a link to the CV from my blog and website.

        I have a profile there - mostly to keep updated on ex-coworkers and the likes.

          You haven't got the hang of this "networking" lark yet, have you?
