Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a total LinkedIn nut. Between LinkedIn and Facebook, I’m at peace with most of my social media needs (Twitter helps a little too, but I could live without it).

I think LinkedIn is the best possible representation of my professional life: my experience, my connections, my reputation, my accomplishments. It’s truly putting my best foot forward when I meet someone I want to know better professionally. It also helps me keep my connections open for a lot longer, whereas previously they would have fossilized after a few months.

Just now, Shawn Ward, co-founder of the social personal finance service Geezeo become my four hundredth connection. A fun milestone.

@Shari: 168 is nice too…
