I've been on LinkedIn for years but only recently started to make more of it. One interesting feature is "LinkedIn Groups". This is a "special request" set-up with LinkedIn and has some interesting potentials. We've started a regional association for IP professionals in my part of the UK (www.nodus-ip.com) and we've got a LinkedIn group going live in a couple of days. Should help us administer and run the group without the need for messy excel spreadsheets whilst at the same time introducing a load of fellow practitioners to the site.

I joined LinkedIn only a couple of months ago and already have a 100 odd conections, which is great.
Andrew Mills, I like your group that you have started and think it might be a good idea, that us IP Professional start a similar group here in Pretoria, South Africa.

Kevin, On your advice, I've joined linkedin and asked colleagues to do so as well. Are there ways to use the thousands of "contacts" I now have for marketing purposes other than to mutely watch the numbers grow? Anyone else who uses linkedin for business development, please weigh in as well. Thanks, Vickie
