  Any fellow chatters involved with this? I've been hearing about it for a while and never really looked into it, but just this week I started messing around with it and it's pretty cool.
  
  For those unfamiliar, it's basically a facebook for working professionals that allows you to network.
  
  If you have it, what do you use it for? Do you find it effective?

  I have an account. I have friends all over the US and in other countries, so its cool to network in a "business "sense" with them.
  
  I see some people use FB as a "professional profile," too much garbage to sift through with that. LinkedIn is the way to go.

• I Wear Pants

  I have an account but I'm still a student so I can't get much use out of it yet.
• fan_from_texas

  Yes, I use it, but so far, it's only been useful in attracting recruiters.
• slingshot4ever

  I use to keep in contact with friends co-workers and clients.

  I have it, but I'm not sure if I'll stay with it, all of the good stuff you have to pay to use

  If it doesn't have farmville or any of the other retarded games on FB, I'm in.
• cbus4life

  I use it, and love it. Really neat to keep track of folks without dealing with the douchiness of Facebook.
• BR1986FB

  Yes. I use it to connect to industry professionals for the jobs I'm trying to fill. I also post job openings in the various groups I'm a part of.

  I just filled out a profile. we'll see how it goes. looks plain and to the point, I like that.
• Gameover

  I also have an account. I have tried networking, but not sure how to use it effectively.

  some of the ways to expand your profile to include some other options for employers costs you money to do so

  I have an account but I hardly ever login. I try to be as anti-"professional" as possible so it doesn't really suit me.
