CHAD DICKERSON: CTO CONNECTION


January 29, 2004

LinkedIn.com

In my weekly InfoWorld column, I write about my experience using LinkedIn.com, yet another example of social networking software -- think Friendster for business. I see the potential in such a service, though I'm waiting to receive measurable value from it (and in fairness, it's only been a few weeks).

I'm actually starting to run into an interesting social networking problem -- if you're using multiple services (e.g. Friendster, Tribe.net, LinkedIn), how do you find the time to manage your different profiles, let alone the separate webs of relationships?

(Jon Udell has also written about LinkedIn, focusing on the fuzzy nature of personal relationships that isn't represented very well in the LinkedIn environment.)
