What prompted me to invite Steven to appear on the show was the fact that he seems very adept at using the LinkedIn Question & Answers forum to raise his profile, with thought-provoking questions, such as ‘Why Network: Business AND Pleasure?’ - which elicited over 200 responses. While Steven has yet to find a focus & productive outlet for his networking enthusiasm, he does have the advantage over his peers (most of all who are still on Facebook) in having made the transition to the professional environment of LinkedIn (and established a significant presence thereon) - something that will no doubt serve him well as his career develops in coming years. Join us as we discuss a number of issues related to the Open Networker philosophy, acceptable codes of networking behaviour & and what it takes to reach the elite status of being a Top 50 LinkedIn ‘Super-Connector’.

Hes also one of the Top 50 most-connected LinkedIn's users, according to TopLinked.com. As a 26-year old who has yet to realize any significant commercial benefit from his 10,000+ connections, Steven is a classic case of being 'All Dressed Up - Nowhere to Go.' However, he is bright, good-natured helpful to others in his network (and obviously very popular). Download Connections #020 - 10,000 Contacts - Now What? What prompted me to invite Steven to appear on the show was the fact that he seems very adept at using the LinkedIn Question Answers forum to raise his profile, with thought-provoking questions, such as 'Why Network: Business AND Pleasure?' - which elicited over 200 responses. While Steven has yet to find a focus productive outlet for his networking enthusiasm, he does have the advantage over his peers (most of all who are still on Facebook) in having made the transition to the professional environment of LinkedIn (and established a significant presence thereon) - something that will no doubt serve him well as his career develops in coming years. Join us as we discuss a number of issues related to the Open Networker philosophy, acceptable codes of networking behaviour and what it takes to reach the elite status of being a Top 50 LinkedIn 'Super-Connector'.
