The internet. Not since the printing press has social life been changed so profoundly by an information technology. Few of us understand exactly how it works, but we all know we have to have it. Our homes have to have it. Our schools have to have it. Our businesses have to have it. Every elected official from the dog-catcher to the President is touting the benefits of universal access to high-speed internet service. Never mind that the dot.com bubble burst in 2001, everyone seems to accept with an eerie unanimity (in these polarized times) that the future of civilization is located somewhere on the information superhighway.

Networking On Steroids: Linkedin

From Jason Jacobsohn's Networking Insight

Posted: 21 Apr 2007 11:04 PM CDT

Forbes.com sat down with new CEO, Dan Nye, of LinkedIn.com.
It is an interesting interview because Dan didn't know the
power of LinkedIn until he went through the recruiting process
with LinkedIn's founder Reid Hoffman. Apparently, Reid did
reference checks on Dan through people on LinkedIn.
So, Reid found information about Dan that he didn't tell him
before the interview. This is an interesting and effective
use of LinkedIn.

For the complete interview, go to Networking on Steroids.
