If you haven’t set up a LinkedIn account yet, this is something you want to do.  It’s free and it will take you about 10 minutes.  Simply go to www.linkedin.com and sign up for a free account. 

I would love to be your first connection!  You can find me at http://www.linkedin.com/in/cindyspeaker .  I actually learned about linkedin after speaking at a conference.  One of the attendees, Ed Smith, was kind enough to write an unsolicited recommendation and sent me an invitation to connect.  I did.  It was that easy.

LinkedIn is the brainchild of Reid Hoffman.  He refers to the site as an opportunity for “relationship capital management (RCM).”  If you’ve heard of the Kevin Bacon concept of six degrees of separation, you will easily understand this.

Now, while you have a minute, sign up or leave a comment on this post with your name and email address and I’ll send you an invitation to get you started!
