Spring break reflection from Norway

This is so not me. I continuously keep thinking that I really really don’t like the fact that I am writing a blog. And I find myself explaining and defending the whole thing all the time. What I apparently do like is the theme of the blog. I enjoy researching for it, writing it, and more importantly; I believe in the importance of the online personality. So yesterday I caught myself using one hour trying to explain and convince my mom why social media is so important, not only in the “socializing- hobby” kind of way. I found myself very convincing, and suddenly realized that despite my concerns it is probably about time that I take the next step into the social media jungle. Linkedin - here I come!

I don’t like putting myself out there. On the other hand I really see the value of networking and relationships. So to convince myself, and also because I in my first blog promised it; I started researching Linkedin, so that I know what I am getting myself into. There are however so many good information sources out there, that it would only be confusing, and probably a violence towards copy right, to rewrite exactly what is written in for example this blog created by Linkedin.

I strongly recommend reading it if you haven’t already got a linked in. And of you are linked in, this blog might even help you realize ways to use linked in that you haven’t even thought of.

I will use this next week go get settled in on linkedin, and next Monday I’ll be ready to give you an update on my experiences, and perhaps some problems I run in to. I would love any comments with tips or recommendations, or if there is anything else I should be aware of?
