Whoa! I signed up for immediately LinkedIn during it’s public beta stage, but never quite got to actively using it to build contacts. For a long time my profile had been languishing at just 5% completeness. But now need to actively build those professional contacts … so I spent an hour this morning to work on my profile.

I really surprised myself with how much I could do in just an hour. Equally surprising was the rather large number of college mates who are already linked in on LinkedIn — ALL of whom currently reside in US or Europe.

After the profile is in a good shape, I’ll then start actively building my network of professional contacts, which is currently languishing at just 5%
