We came across another great social media article today. This time, business social networking site LinkedIn takes centre stage. Established in 2003, it's become the place to be for business networking, but is often eclipsed in profile by Facebook and Twitter.

LinkedIn has some great features, including groups for like-minded folks and LinkedIn Answers. It's most definitely a must-do for serious networkers. Have a look through the suggestions in this article for some new ideas to refresh your own LinkedIn experience..

Imagine, what would the world be like? It's hard, I know... No more excuses for using your mobile during meetings and presentations, waiting for the evening news to watch 737's landing on the Hudson River, politicians not being able to tell us what they ha for lunch on the stump, Saturday morning radio programmes free of social media consultants telling us how good their particular political paymeister's campaign was....the list might be endless.

Anyway, I came across this Infographic this morning. A nice reminder !
