The author has done a very very good job with this book. I have used LinkedIn for several years and felt pretty competent with it, but this chap has identified so many tools and tips on using it I feel like a newbie all over again.
Such tips as keeping up with one tool for all your social networks (Hellotxt), from using LinkedIn as a steroid-fueled people finder and job finder, to increasing networking, locating new suppliers or partners; he pretty well covers them all. His comments on using Groups is worth the price of the book alone.
I installed the LinkedIn Outlook toolbar and was amazed at the capabilities now in the tool - (especially good at keeping Outlook contact data up to date, goodbye Plaxo!) The Firefox toolbar also has some hidden gems wrto extracting contact info from websites. If your job/career requires maintaining a good network, this is a must read and implement book. Google finds information, LinkeIn finds people.
