Renewed My Passion for Networking, April 13, 2009
This review is from: LinkedWorking: Generating Success on LinkedIn ... the World's Largest Professional Networking Website (Paperback)
LinkedWorking has reinvigorated my passion for connecting with people to
the point that I found myself momentarily leaving the manuscript to visit
LinkedIn and try out a few new tips and locate new people to connect with.
Let's be clear that this is not a book for novice LinkedIn users. There are not screen shots and basic tutorials for newbies. The authors assume you get the basics of LinkedIn, but novice users can certainly extrapolate valuable networking skills from the book that will invariably work for anyone looking to become a better networker.
That's one thing I really appreciated about the book - it's ability to give you important networking tactics, how those tactics apply to LinkedIn, and then wash it down with a real life example from uber successful LinkedIn users. LinkedWorking does all of this without all the fluff and hype you're going to get from a lot of books on networking and connecting. It strips it down to the core of what is important, and included great suggestions such as ways to approach e-mailing busy people, and intelligent strategies to benchmark your success on LinkedIn.
If you really want to up the ante on your networking efforts and want to realize the power of LinkedIn as a tool to help you bolster these efforts, LinkedInWorking is a great place to start.

LinkedWorking goes beyond LinkedIn, March 8, 2009
This review is from: LinkedWorking: Generating Success on LinkedIn ... the World's Largest Professional Networking Website (Paperback)
LinkedWorking describes an insider's view of how to maximize LinkedIn as a tool to connect and prosper personally and professionally. What I like most about it is:
- practical advice on how to build an effective network
- a specific plan designed to grow productive connections
- interviews with professionals who use LinkedIn to help them succeed
LinkedWorking is about creating value by building meaningful relationships and enriching experiences that go far beyond the web. LinkedIn is just the beginning.

Great tips and information in Linked Working, May 30, 2009
This review is from: LinkedWorking: Generating Success on LinkedIn ... the World's Largest Professional Networking Website (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. I like that I could put the tips and information to immediate use. I've been slowly building up my network in the past few days. I like the information about joining groups and answering questions.
Though the book is focused on LinkedIn, I think that the information is applicable to networking in general.
I also like that it was a quick read.
The only downside is a few typos in the book, but that does not get in the way of the message.
