Why should I be on LinkedIn?

For those of you reading this and other blogs, you are probably already on this particular bandwagon. If I missed one of your reasons for using LinkedIn, please add it as a comment below.

If you know of other alumni/job seekers who have not set up a profile or are not connected with people through LinkedIn, please share the link to this post.

LinkedIn can help me:
* Establish a toe hold in the Internet sea
* Build my professional brand
* Research companies of interest
* Connect with other professionals
* Ask and share information
* Connect with groups
* Find jobs

Did I miss anything?

Do you have more specific stories to share about your LinkedIn successes?

Please add your comments below.
