LinkedIn is an online business oriented social networking portal, mainly used for professional networking

There are already 11 million professionals in the LinkedIn Network, and that number is growing fast. Whether you seek a job, a hire, a reference, a sales lead, an expert, or an inside connection at one of 50,000 companies around the world representing over 150 industries, LinkedIn is an irreplaceable resource for building your professional relationships and achieving your goals.

When you join, you create a profile that summarizes your professional accomplishments. Your profile helps you find and be found by former colleagues, clients, and partners. You can add more connections by inviting trusted contacts to join LinkedIn and connect to you.
