Is LinkedIn something I should join?

This is more a question to the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) employees that read this blog. I made an account, filled in a few things, didn’t get that in to it.
Then I searched for "Nokia" and found at least 200 employees. I’m amazed.
Do you think I should use LinkedIn and promote my profile on my blog?
It can’t hurt!
There are way more–your results are only from your network, which is probably only a tiny fraction of the total 9 million membership. Right now, I find 116 current Nokia vice presidents, and I also find over 300 Nokia employees who joined just in the past 7 days . . . the more you connect with people you know and trust at Nokia, the more other Nokia employees will show up in your searches.
I think you should definitely join it!
You are crazy not to join. Besides Nokia, there are thousands of potential customers, employers and partners on the network. And yes, it is a great way to advertise your blog or website!
