Networking through Linked-in

The TZ group on LinkedIn has only 300 members despite the organization having over 40,000 members. This post explores why LinkedIn participation is low and asks members about their views on using the platform for professional networking and community engagement.

All,

With over 40,000 TZ members I write wondering why so few are members of the TZ group in Linked-in? This would be a great medium for us to network further but the group only has 300 members. What are people’s opinions of using Linked-in as a networking forum? Like it? Dislike it? Why?

  1. In and Out

    Hi Ranjit

    The more you put in to a forum the more you get out. There may be 40000 members but only about 10 people ever say anything.

    Its not enough being a member of something and not adding to the content.. Some posts on here have 300+ reads and 1 comment. If people read a post and just say "that was interesting, rubbish, funny" this website might be a good place to learn something.

    If you don’t water the plants they tend to die so I hope people start making this a more interesting place and share their thoughts as it seems to be the same old faces all the time! Linkedin isn’t much better.

    Regards

    You may have a point there – pity because I learn so much from other people’s inputs.

  3. Meetings
    Hi Ranjit

    Hope you enjoy your Virtual meeting for 1 🙂

    I’ll report back on my Training network meeting for 1 and we can compare notes.

    Item 1 on my agenda will be to remove all the bad words from a Trainers vocabulary…starting with… game, icebreaker, fun, warm up, covering topics, and getting points across…

    Looking forward to a heated debate with myself!

    Steve
