Over the last few months I have been invited to join friends and colleagues on Linkin.com, I generally respond and add the people my network. I am generally link networks and the process at Linkedin seems interesting.I have been thinking about how we could create a network for the village like this, because over time I have discovered, that a Mayor can act as a middleman for putting people in touch with each other. Not a week goes by that I don't discover and enable two residents getting in contact with each other for one reason or another. In fact I enjoy this more then any other part of the job.
What I would ask you is how do you think we could, as a village, use the network to better help each other. Please respond via email to me or in the contacts section I would like to hear your suggestions.Here is some information about LinkedIn
