My target is to reach or exceed 500 LinkedIn Contacts within a 90 day period. Like a lot of people, I was first exposed to LinkedIn through an invite from a respected collegue. But, having once set up the initial information my use of the tool languished for a number of months. Then, something, reignited my interest in the tool (I can't began to tell you what it was) and I approached the tool and its use and potential with a new fervor intent on learning how to properly use the tool and then learn how to best exploit the functionality offered by the tool.
