About Jill Hurst-Wahl

CONNECTING

We are used to connecting with people face-to-face, on the phone or via email. Internet-based social networking tools allow us to connect in ways that ensure that we are:

Accessible

Able to exchange information fast

In-the-know and considered part of "the crowd"

Not "missing in action"

In fact, these tools allow us to be "hyper-linked." You are linked to your colleagues in not just one way, but in many ways.

Tools that allow us to connect to each other include LinkedIn and Facebook. People also connect through various sharing services, where they can track what their friends are sharing (e.g., Flickr).

We connect both as colleagues and friends. Professionally, we want to:

Present our capabilities
Discover and leverage professional opportunities

Use our extended networks to find and reach potential partners, clients, users, or employees

Locate relevant and useful information
