Serendipity lives in the NextStage Nashua, NH, offices. No sooner do we hear "LinkedIn is so 60s" and "I don't have time to be on half a dozen social networks" then I get a book in my email that provides good information and action paths to those with an interest and on just those topics. 
Ajay Jain's Let's Connect: Using LinkedIn to get ahead at work is one of those fascinating books that demonstrate that a little bit of exploration and investigation can be of great benefit. Especially if you're looking to get ahead and extend your career path by building a valuable social network.
I've known Mr. Jain only via email for a while (and yes, we're Linked). He sent me a copy of his book and asked me to review it only if I thought it worthy. I warned him that I can take forever to get to such things due to my schedule. He didn't mind and I'm glad to be of service to him. These are links to sample chapters you can download (and you should):
- Introduction: The LinkedIn Edge & About this book (Pages 7-9)
- Your ever expanding Rolodex (Pages 53-64)
- LinkedIn Answers: A Global Focus Group (Pages 73-84)
- Branding & Marketing Yourself (Pages 105-112)
- Finding a job you love (Pages 121-130)
