LinkedIn is a professional networking site with over 41 million members globally that can be leveraged for business purposes. The primary uses of LinkedIn include reconnecting with lost contacts by searching for them, gaining introductions by finding mutual connections, and potentially gaining visibility and providing value if one's target market is active on LinkedIn. To avoid wasting time, users should focus on building meaningful connections and relationships rather than just accumulating contacts, and get clear on their objectives for using LinkedIn.
