LinkedIn Full Throttle In August

I've decided to give some of this neat social software a test run. I'm going to use LinkedIn every day in August to see what consulting gigs, speaking gigs and other cool stuff I can use it to leverage.

I'll report back every day here on my blog at the results.

I like LinkedIn best for business, but also belong to Friendster. I never took the Orkut plunge. Don't use Tribe either. It all started to get to be just too much.

I met Reid Hoffman at the BlogOn Event last week and it was cool to meet him and that got me thinking about how I could push his software to the limit and see the results.

Right now on LinkedIn I have 40 connections to people and a network of 428,500 people.
