LinkedIn: Getting Connected

Since its inception, LinkedIn has grown to include more than 55 million users in 200 countries world-wide.  This is no accident.  LinkedIn is based on the principle that every person is connected to one another by no more than six degrees of separation from everybody else.  In other words, individuals can connect with one another simply by utilizing their network of contacts.  And this is where LinkedIn can help business owners and their employees.  The website keeps track of who knows whom and provides a means to connect people based on professional expertise, needs, and interests.
