Linkedin, the popular business-oriented social networking site has to-date approximately sixty million registered users spread over 200 countries and territories worldwide. And according to Mike O'Neill and Lori Ruff, authors of Rock the World with your Online Presence: Your Ticket To A Multi-Platinum Linkedin Profile, connecting to Linkedin is not about digital pals replacing your real-life friends, but rather it is about extending and expanding your professional network.

There are four appendices, the Linkedin profile inventory (an invaluable tool), Linkedin groups, how far can you take Linkedin, a glossary and some important definitions.

One of the most important elements of Linkedin is your profile and thus considerable ink is devoted to this aspect of the registration process.
