Sure you have a LinkedIn profile, but what has it done for you lately? In “Windmill Networking: Understanding, Leveraging & Maximizing LinkedIn,” Neal Schaffershares ideas on getting the most out of the social network. Windmill Networking as Neal refers to it, involves creating a network via web 2.0 social media like Facebook, Twitter, and (you guessed it) LinkedIn then leveraging that network. He even includes diagrams and boxes to help you along the path to Windmill enlightenment. The book is divided into 3 intuitive sections -

• Creating a LinkedIn Brand
• Understanding LinkedIn
• Leveraging LinkedIn

Each section provides step-by-step instructions regarding profile creation, features, and networking for fun and profit. The book is not specifically targeted for lawyers (a plus) but “Windmill Networking” is a great primer for lawyers interesting in taking advantage of what LinkedIn has to offer.
