    I've just joined the CF Facebook group, (Paul :)) and have to admit I do like a bit of facebook. It can be kind of addictive but also a good way to catch up with old mates etc..

    Im not seen LinkedIn before, I may have to have a little look! :biggrin

    I've called it certforums.co.uk, don't know why linkedin doesn't find it when you just search for certforums. I think that they have to update their search utility :)

    Lol... missed this. Of course, BM; however, LinkedIn is good for 'selling your wares' so to speak.

    I notice that we've only had a small number of people from CF sign up to the Certforums group on LinkedIn. Don't be shy you lot, it costs nowt and could prove to be useful to you in the future... 8) Think of it as like doing the lottery; if you don't do it, you can't win.

    Networking, catching up with old colleagues, letting people see what you're working on. As an example, I have 6 or 7 direct connections; however, because of the people they know, I actually have 36000 plus people who may be reading my profile.

    There are various groups you can belong too as well, such as BCS, CITP and so on...

    Well worth it considering the 'cost'.

    I'm already a linked in member, I'm curious as to the purpose of the groups and more specifically the certforum group...

    Ah, sorry. I see the Certforums group as an opportunity for Certforums to both raise its profile and to allow us to discuss tech issues on LinkedIn. :D

    It certainly doesn't take the place of CF itself by any stretch of the imagination.
