Connecting With Others


I tell people that I am not a big social media guy but that really is kind of a lie. No, I don't use Twitter and I don't tell the world ever little thing I am doing at all times of the day. "I just picked my nose and wiped it under my couch". Through the Placebo Journal I do have a Facebook page but I find that site too casual and social. LinkedIn, however, seems more professional. It allows people to connect to each other for professional favors and opportunities and that is a good thing, especially in this economic climate. Since the Placebo Journal has brought together people to laugh and commiserate about common things, I thought it would be a good idea to find a place on http://www.linkedin.com/. I highly recommend you check it out and join and see if we can't all help each other out. Like everything else, we shouldn't abuse this opportunity but I think you will be amazed how well people are connected and how that can help you in the future.
