Rel134 - After creating a profile on LinkedIn.com, many professional groups and professional people are listed on the Social networking site LinkedIn.com. The groups that are most interesting personally are the groups that have affiliation with Human services, Medicare, CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and publishing. The LinkedIn site mostly looks like an on line Chamber of Commerce where people go to meet online and network. There are many people searching for employment. Many groups possess websites for their causes. Linked.com is not any different from face-book or other social networking sites. The one thing different is that all of the people and organizations seem to be professionals in some sort of fashion. One thing noticed was that anyone is able to create a site of his or her own. This poses some interesting questions. If one could obtain enough followers then a certain cause might be noticed. Rel 134

Mr. Hoffman studied at Stanford in artificial intelligence and cognitive science to answer a question of how people structure their thoughts and how they communicate (Lacter, 2009). With an impressive resume with Apple Computer and Fujitsu Software, the man asked himself “What’s the minimum amount of time I can work for a company before starting my own” (Lacter, 2009)? What he did was make a check-off list of things to do so that he would have everything he needed to create his first start up; Socialnet and the PayPal. Bshs 352
