Yes, but there again, I have several identities on there to keep 'friends' apart from each other.

What, like Prince Charles and Mohammed Al Fayed?

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

[ThomasSoerensen]

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

[threaded]

Is anyone one here a member, I am and have found several old work contacts....its a good way to keep in touch.

I'm on it. Got quite a lot of connections but then I've been about a bit ... !!

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.

[BoredBloke]

Woo I now have 8 connections

[TheFaQQer]

I'm in - got 50 something contacts.

I also signed up to the PCG group on there, just as an extra thingy on my CV.

I've had some contacts through there, but no work come from it yet...

[Churchill]

I'm on LinkedIn and have made contact with some of the chaps I used to work with.

It all helps with the old networking thing. You get out what you put in.

[BoredBloke]

I'm on it - might be in line for some work from it in the autumn for somebody I used to work for.

[BA to the Stars]

Yes, although I have never had anything come from it, it cannot do too much harm (hopefully not famous last words)

[richard-af]

Yes. Only 1 contact. But he is a techie "star". So I win.

[Ardesco]

I have an account and had a raft of things come through it about 2 weeks ago. I put it down to 1 agency suddenly realising it was there and spamming everybody on thier mailing lists.

Must admit i have it just sitting there and haven't bothered adding any details, if I get a few more agents asking me to join thier network I may bother putting something up next time i'm on the bench.

[wendigo100]

Yes but I can never be arsed with it.
