Social Networking is the hot topic these days. I’ve recently started playing with LinkedIn and Twitter. Can it make you any money? Not sure yet, however, in filling out my profile, LinkedIn asked if I would like to see other members that went to the University of Kentucky during the same years that I was there.
I have tried to find my college roommates several times over the years, but it can be hard to find women if they have since married. I knew their maiden name, but have no way of knowing what their married name might be. I looked and of course couldn’t find them. Then my eyes stopped on the name Patricia. I didn’t recognize the last name, but she was in marketing. I followed through to the website and found a photo of the college roommate I hadn’t spoken to in over 20 years. We’ve had a fun time catching up.
I also located a fellow MBA graduate, but he was easier to find (no name change). Even if I never make any money from this new tool, the time I spent so far was more than worth locating and reconnecting with 2 great friends.
However, I am determined to take this further to see where I can go with it. Oh yeah and my LinkedIn profile is:
