Do you KNOW that LinkedIn is a huge pond of connections that you need to make, but you find yourself stuck in the Twitterverse or in Facebook Land all day? Do you need the support of those who understand? Are you unsure of what to do to once you're here?

"I Need to Spend More Time On #li!" is here to help -- and make it fun while we're at it! Each Thursday, we'll share one step for all of us to take over the weekend to improve our LinkedIn presences, connections, and profiles. The following Tuesday, we'll all check in and share our accomplishments with one another!

During the week, we can ask questions, make connections, refer one another, and just play here. Let's make LinkedIn our coffee break playground, get to know other LinkedIn Procrastinators, and encourage one another while we're at it! We'll let loose and have some fun in between so we want to come here to play. (Jokes? Cartoons? Icebreaker questions?)

You game? The first challenge starts Thursday, March 24, 2011! Tell your friends to join us!

PS: Spammers and people who use this group for anything but its purpose -- to mutually encourage and get to know one another -- will be publicly reprimanded by the other members. That's one of the things I don't like about Linkedin -- too many Look-At-Me's here! Yes? « less
