LinkedIn Profile on the web

I noticed that the businessy sixdegreesy linkedin.com have opened up a bit, and now allows your public profile to be visible on the web.
I quite like LinkedIn for business to business networking and as a store for my ever-growing ever-changing CV. It makes a CV a lot easier to manage that the traditional word document type.

Online Social Networking 2005

I’ve just registered for the Online Social Networking 2005 conference. This is a wholly online conference running for a couple of weeks discussing all aspects of online social networking.

It should be really interesting, both for the discussions of social networking and the experience of an online conference.

OSN2005 will be a summit for all those interested in working with social networking processes, tools, and media. In addition to attending many workshops, panels, and presentations by leading experts and practitioners, attendees will have the opportunity to be part of a community with a significant role in defining the future direction of online social networking. If you want to help shape this industry, come to OSN2005!

During the OSN2005 summit we will co-create and publish a manifesto describing what we want and need from online social networking tools. What are the key criteria for choosing and assessing OSN products and services? What gaps exist in currently available software and related tools? What needs to happen before it’s common knowledge that OSN products and services can deliver significant value? What are the most promising developments in the OSN industry?
