62/566 Get on LinkedIn
I have been on LinkedIn for more than a couple years, but it was more of just a online resume when I first was looking for jobs early last year. But more recently I have been activity looking on it for new about businesses I follow. It may not at first be the universal place to find content. But it does a couple things well: 1. shows me when someone looks at my portfolio and that just creates an awesome personal boost. 2. Allows me to follow the business side of people I know and what is going on in their own lives. 3. Allows me to see what is going on in business/marketing for certain places.
LinkedIn has been inquired by Microsoft but it will continue to run as its own company. For now it is the best place for lead generations, connecting for new jobs and following business people that you want to keep in touch with.
If you considering a very technology directed job in the future I would recommend getting on their for constant exposure to the environments. I get about a new email or view a week which is a pretty comfortable amount of awareness for me. For right now though I am more focused on personal learning than seeking new jobs... for now.
