[mdlug] MDLUG Linked In Group

[Stan Green]

Yes, LinkedIn is a professional networking site. They have recently added 
group discussions to the site. The site does provide more than just 
discussions, so it is not in direct conflict with other discussion forums. 
The benefit of a MDLUG group would be for people (employers) to connect with 
members of the group. There is also an Open Source group that has a wider 
audience then MDLUG.

I've been on LinkedIn for a while and would be happy to answer any other 
questions about it.
