Matthew Wall: 'an analogue mind in a digital world'

My take on the financial crisis...

Missing the LinkedIn?

Is business networking site LinkedIn worth joining, or is it, as BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones would have it, simply for losers about to lose their jobs?

Kevin Eyres (above), LinkedIn's new European MD, actually found his job through the site and 28 million people worldwide seem to think it has something, as do the company's investors, who've just poured an extra £27 million into the rapidly expanding company. 

These days, when an injudicious facebook entry can stymie future job prospects, perhaps a more controlled and selective networking environment where colleagues can recommend your work might be a useful corrective?
