Linkedin.com provides a virtual networking site which works just like networking in real life. For most users, the website is FREE. For someone needing to contact vast numbers of individuals, there are enhanced services available at a cost. For a sample, check out www.linkedin.com/in/deragray .

Networking usually means you seek to meet people that have interests similar to yours and then provide mutual benefit to each other. LinkedIn provides a way to search for people, a way to connect with people, and a way to help each other.

Triangle Linkedin is organized to support local users of Linkedin.com by providing opportunities for "face2face" meetings as well as a vehicle for information exchange. This group is not organized by nor financially supported by Linkedin.com, but it is one devotee's attempt to "pay it forward" by sharing the goodies found there.

Our Meetups center around getting more for the buck at the website, but hey, who knows what will happen when a great group of people meet. Additionally, the Triangle Linkedin Meetup message board allows us to continue our discussions after a Meetup; everyone is encouraged to start a new topic, ask a question, etc.

So, if you want to meet some new folk who probably know someone you know, come link in with us.
