helping LinkedIn members get value from blogging and other social media
The LinkedIn Bloggers group on Yahoo! Groups - http://www.linkedinbloggers.net - provides a space where LinkedIn members can share information, ideas and tips for how blogging, podcasting and other social media can help you build your professional profile and your business or career. This lens is intended to supplement what is on the LinkedIn Bloggers forum and attract people who may be looking for just such a forum and helpful group.

What the group is about
LinkedIn Bloggers is a forum for discussing how blogging and related technologies, such as podcasting, video blogging (vlogging)and wikis can support members' professional networking using LinkedIn.
The group was established early in 2005 by Vincent Wright, who subsequently handed responsibility for the group to founding moderator, Des Walsh.
Currently, the group is on the Yahoo! Groups platform and has 900 members as at this writing (December 17, 2008)
The only requirement for membership is that the person be a member of LinkedIn. Those who are not members of LinkedIn and wish to join LinkedIn Bloggers can join LinkedIn at the basic (free) level - and of course can consider then or later having a paid membership. In applying to join LinkedIn Bloggers it is an essential requirement that the application include the person's LinkedIn profile: how to get that is explained on the LinkedIn Bloggers home page.
A challenge for some when applying is where to put the LinkedIn profile link: in the current configuration of the Yahoo! Groups the only way to do that is to include the link in the comments.
Or contact us via the Contact page on this blog and we will endeavour to help you sort it out.
Note: On the LinkedIn site, within the section for LinkedIn Groups, there is "another" group by the name of LinkedIn Bloggers: it is effectively a sub-group of the larger group, insofar as membership of the group on LinkedIn is managed and subject to the approval of the moderators on the Yahoo! Groups gathering, where the actual discussions and exchanges of information take place.
