One Hundred Connections in my network on LinkedIn!!!

About six weeks ago, I decided that these social networking sites only work if you make an investment in them. I decided to put 15 minutes a day into sending invites, writing recommendations, asking and answering questions on LinkedIn. Well my network has taken off and grown from 26 connections to 100 (thank you Matthew Bovey for being #100)
I did take a fairly Open Networking approach, but I was surprised to find people, often through other people, who I knew from years gone by.
The other thing I have started to do, is to make this network work for me and put some of my work questions to my network, tapping their collective knowledge.
Now onwards and upwards to 200….
