If you're in a business function, you need to meet and contact new people all the time. One of my favourite tools is LinkedIn, a virtual networking system with a free level of access. The goal is to meet up with people of similar interest for mutual benefit and/or gain.

*** AND ***

Here are a few tips to get the most out of LinkedIn:

* Connect with everyone

* NEVER turn down a connection

* Make sure your profile is heavily detailed [I agree!]

* Endorse others [I agree!]

* Upload your contacts into their system to see who's a LinkedIn user that you can easily connect with [I agree!]
* Reconnect with their "Find a colleague" feature.

* Spend time searching for contacts on a regular basis

Perhaps the key is how the writer sets it up as "need to meet" as part of a business like headhunter. As a seeker, I'm not so sure.
