[FredLug] LinkedIN Fredlug group

[Doug Needham]

So it sounds like dropping out from this group is not a big deal. 

I have joined a number of LinkedIN groups, and also get involved in Answers on 
LinkedIN. 


To me it is interesting to see what other people that I may not be directly 
connected with think about particular issues, or opportunities. 


I try to abstain from things like developer lists. All those discussions are 
almost flame bait because invariably there is more than one way to do things. 


I used to just use LinkedIN for contacting recruiters, now I try to get a little 
more involved in the discussions and such. I can get some exposure to new 
markets that I may be looking at trying to get into. 


FWIW if anyone wants to connect with me on Linkedin here is my profile:

I would like to take part in discussions on my other groups, however, 
they are so high-volume that I just get them in batches.  I usually 
notice that when I get an alert for some really neat discussion, there 
have already been like 30 replies from people who seem to keep up with 
linkedin like it is a professionals' facebook.

In general, it is either that you don't have enough participation, or 
there is information overload due to there being too much participation 
on a linkedin list.  I get like 40 emails a day from each of the 
developer lists I am on, and they are all containing discussions that 
already have a bunch of replies by the time I see them.

Just my experience.
