191. LinkedIn as your supportive career IT infrastructure

The "supportive IT strategy" that Don Tapscott talks about (see posting below) can actually be provided by LinkedIn, for managing one's career.

Indeed, it seems that just as corporations have to be honest and truthful about information, people also have to be truthful about their careers.

It's pretty hard to lie on LinkedIn: you can't make up the number of connections you have, or force people to write shining endorsements of your personality and work ethic!
