Okay you’re social and you have access to all these different social networks. And perhaps you’re wondering exactly what is the value of one network versus the other.
In my opinion the value of Linkedin is recommendations. This is a unique feature of this network.
You have the ability to write a recommendation about a friend, colleague, co-worker, consultant, presenter, etc. Think about it. You know how you feel when someone writes something complementary about you. So why not take the fifteen to twenty minutes each week it might take to write a recommendation about someone. It will make you feel good, it helps out the individual in that they now have a bank of recommendations for future job references, and they might in turn do the same favor for you.
It really is a “pay it forward” kind of action!
