A Few of My Favorite Tech Toys

  • www.LinkedIn.com and www.Martindale.com/Connected: This week, look at your profile for a few minutes and add in your relevant work experience that your friends, associates, and network may be needing. It just needs to be a few keywords, but your update will pop up on all of your contacts pages.
