Re: [fw-general] Linked-in?
I've been using LinkedIn for a while, indeed it is great. I typically describe it to people who don't know it as a "business-oriented friendster".I'm not sure if the "groups" feature is also available to "free" users?

Linked In is great, but you really only link to people you have a personal or profesional relationship with. Setting up two groups is a great idea. — Charles -- Stefan Koopmanschaphttp://www.stefankoopmanschap.nl/http://www.leftontheweb.com/

The Ajaxian plan seems to have been modeled off the MySpace "friends" model, where with LinkedIn and other professional networks you /don't/ want to link with people you don't know pretty well. Whoever created it didn't think it through. You already asked this and already received responses, and the feeling was that a LinkedIn group or two might be a good idea. http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=groups_directory -- Charles -Original Message- From: Chris Chabot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2006 5:07 AM To: fw-general@lists.zend.com Subject: [fw-general] linked in?

As for all subscribing and registering as a profile however, linked-in supports a 'groups' feature which would be a lot more appropriate. Two groups, one for 'Zend Framework Contributors' and one for 'Zend Framework Users' might be cool for keeping up with stuff.

Re: [fw-general] Linked-in?
I wanted to oversimplfy it... This is a mailing list for the Zend Framework and not for job hiring, nor for making new contract or networking. Anyone who is in need of that or wants this can google for it... When his company is in need for PHP'lers they should announce in the right channel or page but not in this mailing list. That's what I meant. Btw: I'm member of openBC since several years... I know what I speak when I talk about networking.
