Debby and Greg (The Networking Guru and Reluctant Networker, resp.) answer listener questions about how to use social media, especially LinkedIn, in their networking practice. While by no means social media experts, both have found techniques and mindsets that have made their use of various platforms into powerful tools to expand and strengthen their existing networks.
