LinkedIn seems to be gaining momentum in being a real player in social networking. Invitations from users have been attracting more and more users to the site each day.

The site allows you to see the professional background of a person. It’s kind of like an online resume. You can search for people you used to work with and see where they ended up. Get back in touch with old friends.

The site seems to be flourishing since it’s basically a simpler MySpace or Facebook, without all the junk that makes those sites difficult to work with. There are no cluttering ads, no annoying emails from people you don’t want to contact you (you have to pay a fee to be able to send messages) and no spam.

I’m officially hooked. I’m on the site all day searching for people I’ve been wondering about. Let’s see if it will go the way of Facebook and MySpace and bore me to the point of an abandoned account.
