'Internetworking'

Have just discovered Linked In which at first glance, looks to be a wonderful tool for online networking.
http://www.linkedIn.com/
As someone who has never been very good at face-to-face networking, this site appears to be just the ticket.
Not only does it allow you to ‘connect’ with past business associates, it also lets you connect with their list of contacts, providing they accept your invite to connect with you.
Once connected it also shows the chain or ‘six degrees of separation’ by which you’re connected to others which is very cool indeed.
It’s definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already.
In terms of real benefit, time will tell.
Hopefully it will serve me as more than just a business version of Face Book.
I’ll give it three months and provide an update.
