Devoted to women of color in business

I've blogged about LinkedIn before and I'd love your opinion on the tool.

"For many, it's become irresponsible to not invite business associates into your LinkedIn network," says Mikolaj Jan Piskorski, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School who specializes in sociology and strategy.

I recently added my LinkedIn profile to my e-mail signature. What do you use it for?
