LinkedIn : Three degrees of separation with Mr. Barack Obama
While I was looking at the profile of one my invitations to connect, I realized that I am only three degrees away from US President-elect Mr. Barack Obama. That makes me (feel) very powerful
If you do not believe me look at this screen shot. There are notes for this image at Flickr.
I looked at the profiles of Mrs. Clinton as well as Mr. Obama. The profiles contain the information that is publicly available about both these people. Are the profiles genuine ? I wasn’t so sure about that. Initially, I thought these profiles to be fake. Little bit of googling revealed, these are genuine profiles. Mr. Obama also posted a question on one of the LinkedIn groups.
LinkedIn is very powerful tool, so much so that the most candidates for US president also need to rely on The Power of LinkedIn. If you aren’t on LinkedIn yet, you should be.
Talking about .. degrees of separation, Kevin Bacon also has his profile on LinkedIn. Search for him
