I always enjoy writing for the Marketing Watchdog Journal, published by Austin-based Bulldog Solutions (see my March 2008 piece about how to build a blog that draws a crowd.)

Connie Reece stops into Bulldog as well; check out her article about whether your PR team is social media savvy.

The latest Every Dot Connects offering in the Journal is about networking on LinkedIn….is it a fly-by-night fad – or the best networking tool around?

I wrote about beefing up your LinkedIn profile, then some details about powerful tools on the site that are generally underutilized (Answers and Recommendations, for starters.)

For more details on becoming a LinkedIn power user, click here for the Journal article.

    I dont think its a fad. Linkedin was added to the About.com Top 10 Employment site list with 2 other sites but linkedin is still the only social netwoking site on the list. 3 newest job sites on top list are:

    http://www.linkedin.com (professional networking)
    http://www.indeed.com (aggregated job listings)
    http://www.realmatch.com (matches you to the perfect job)

    Good luck to all those searching for jobs.
