« The Second Wave of LinkedIn »

I’ve noticed in the past month that there’s been some considerable pickup to LinkedIn requests. More and more of my peers seem to be (finally) jumping into the LinkedIn pool. It’s a good sign.

Another good sign are the fantastic new features and applications that LinkedIn has instituted. The groups are great for connecting with people (when they aren’t full of odd spammy bits)… and I’m appreciating some of the blogging tools and RSS feeds as well….

It’s neat that they’ve incorporated some *facebooky* things as well, like status mesages. Still, it’s got a good grownup look and feel.

There’s a time and a place or Facebook, but LinkedIn is the grownup alternative ;-)

Anyone else seeing an influx of LinkedIn activity?

I hate to say it, but when some recent layoffs happened is when I saw an increase in requests to join my network or responses to my requests that were out there...

I've been seeing an uptick in LinkedIn registrations and updates among friends who have currently lost jobs.
