So, I’m taking a second look at LinkedIn. My primary goal is to gain a better understanding of how to use social networking tools in general. I’m not job hunting or looking to reconnect with former classmates.

I’ve created an account, filled out my job and education histories, pasted my profile from TR, added half a dozen current and former colleagues from my workplace, and applied to a few groups. Now what?

Does this require active management? I now recall why I didn’t find any value to LinkedIn on my first attempt: I don’t know what to do with it.
