Week 8, Thing 19 Web 2.0 Awards

I took a look at LinkedIn, which won 1st place in the Professional Networking Category. I love the fact that there is a way to network with former classmates and coworkers, along with the added feature of meeting new people. I joined the site and instantly found "10 People who I should connect with." When I got my confirmation email, I learned that there are over 12 million people registered on the site! It was easy to register - name, job, school attended - and then you can connect with other people that have similar information. What a great way to re-connect and to network! This was a really cool find and I'm excited to continue using it!
