The Savvy Networker 10 Must-Do's for Online Networkers

(01-04) 04:00 PST 01/04/09 -- When my 81-year-old dad sent me a LinkedIn invitation, I knew some milestone had been passed.

It's an online-networking world, and working people who aren't already on the bandwagon need to catch up, fast. Here are 10 tips to help you get your online networking activities going without ruffling any feathers:

1. Get a new "one"

You'll need a ONE — an online networking e-mail account — just for use in discussion groups and social networking sites. If you don't get an account just for this purpose, you may find your "regular" home e-mail address (or, worse, your work address!) beset by spam messages and bacn (social networking spam). Get a new address at Yahoo! or another free-e-mail site today, and use it for all of your online networking adventures.

2. Find your group

Yahoo! Groups is the epicenter of group online discussion, with 10 million groups covering every topic from search engine optimization to moms working from home. Search for a group that suits your taste and then join it, taking care to read the group's membership guidelines before you plunge into the conversation.
