Networking on the Phone

If you have a web enabled phone, starting now, you can used LinkedIn on it. Visit m.linkedin.com to get started. You can view profiles (great when you're at a conference and want to find out more about someone you have just met), invite connections, access LinkedIn answers, and send messages to your contacts.  Here's more on LinkedIn Mobile.

By the way, you can do the same with Facebook.  Facebook Mobile lets you do just about everything you can do on your computer on your cell phone (if you have web access).  So, take advantage and stay connected, regardless of where you are.

By the way, it never hurts to have actual conversations with your connections every once in the said.  There is still something to be said for phone communications and staying in touch the old fashioned way.
