I define a difference here to mean being able to help others and to get help from others in an extremely efficient manner. It is this elusive effective manner that I am struggling with. My near term goals are all focused to produce a huge impact on my notion of “NETWORKING STRATEGY EFFICIENCY”. How will I know when I have it? When, I am able to rapidly respond to requests from my network and I am also able to receive rapid responses to any topic I present to my network. When people connected to me and I become a balanced resource for one another. Cheers, Bob Jason,

In the privacy of your own home you can look up people you meet at a networking event and discover points of connection with no awkward moments, that "sardine can feeling" or excessive noise. For introverts, this alone is a platinum feature. You can look at companies and pretest your interest in them before you invest heavy research time. The only thing I wish I could do on LinkedIn is plug in a zip code or, "10 mile radius of... address" or "15 mile radius of...address" and find all the companies listed on LinkedIn in that area. I could immediately weed out companies that do not fall inside my commuting distance "circle" or fall within solid mass transit lines. I wish I could take that same location search and refine it to "companies that do..." or "companies in the ...industry". What time and nerves would be saved from trying to use a cobbled together combination of Hoover's, mapquest and google! LinkedIn is a valuable tool for “extending your reach beyond your grasp”.

It has become the defacto professional networking site.

A complete profile gives so much more depth and texture to who you are to a prospective hiring manager. It also gives you the ability to check out the prospective hiring manager and her company as well! For those not currently in a search and taking a cue from Ferrazzi's Never Eat Alone, it is also the best way to develop, enhance and nurture your network when you don't need it.
