Now THAT was cool...

LinkedIn is about professional networking.  Sometimes it's about useless connections to recruiters who don't know your background.  Sometimes it's about quasi-social issues and in danger of becoming Facebook.  More than once, I've wanted to close my account and move on to a more useful platform.  Then this happens...

A week ago I connected with someone I never met before.  She wasn't a recruiter.  She didn't have a social cause.  She read something I posted about AP Recovery Audits and wanted to know more.  We had a meaningful conversation about my experience, my thoughts, my ideas for improvements if I were to do it again.  I learned something about someone else, another industry, and another perspective.

I think I just made a positive contribution to the professional community on LinkedIn.  It was motivating...  Isn't that what this place is all about?
