     Is it more important to have a ton of contacts or a ton of endorsements/recommendations? I’ve found that I am contacted far more often due to an endorsement I’ve received than because of the number of contacts I have. Thoughts?

     Blessings,

     Michael

     P.S. How do I find my “Member Number”?

   Very interesting. The top two from San Francisco and 50% from California. It must be because they get more sunshine than the east.

   Thanks for the post. I’m considering myself also an early adopter of LinkedIn (Member No. 824075). However, the impact my profile had on my current job search was very limited. I actually like the possibility to be endorsed a lot. But I guess that within Europe LinkedIn is not as popular among HR-Professionals as it is within the US.

   Great article. I’m Member No. 31417415. Not an early adopter, by any means. But I love what is happening on LinkedIn, as more and more business professionals from around the world find a home here. One thing LinkedIn can teach all us… Don’t burn your bridges!

   My number is 18870015
   LinkedIn keeps me in contact with my connections regardless of where they go and allows me to find out more about a person before we speak… it’s a great tool! I love to put a face with a name/voice.

   I wonder how it has benefitted them in regard to their professions. I would very much like for her to expand on that piece of the puzzle.

   And they keep in touch with all these contacts how?

   It’s interesting and sort of sad that there is only 1 woman in the 10 that are the most linked in. Definitely says something about the business world. We definitely have work to do.

   Obviously Stacy Zapar (#9 on the list) has used the hints she gave on LinkedIn from a previous post.

    Linkedin has to be the best way to connect with true professionals.

    As we deliver social media training in the Netherlands (the country with the highest penetration of Linkedin among the labor force (26,2%)), I often meet people that use Linkedin on a daily base. I’m user #8788788 (nice number) and wonder who will be the 10 most connected people on Linkedin in Europe?
    Do you have those results as well?

    Hallo from Italy!
    I’m #3.237.286 … large number, but I suppose I was one of the beginners in Italy to use Linkedin.
    Does someone know if there is a way to have the data for country?
    So actually I’ve more than 1800 connections.
    Let’s connect? My mail is federicalinkedin@yahoo.it
    I use ONLY Linkedin as Social Network and it gives me information (not only concerning my job and my country), and opportunity to state busines relation.
    In Italy we have to learn more about this!!!

    Have a great Day
    Federica

    Most people use LinkedIn to try to network with people that may be in a position to assist them with finding their next position, many not knowing the other person beyond the cyber world. Anyone have any suggestions on how to best utilize or approach new contacts with whom you may only be connected with on LinkedIn to get you more interviews and less sacrifing of your resume to the “black hole”?
