Outside Networking & Linkedin

What in the world does outside networking have to do with Linkedin?

Usually I attend about 3 networking events per week.  After I attend those events, when I get home I connect with all the people I spoke to on Linkedin.  I listen carefully to each of the people I speak with and when I reach out to connect I give them an article or some tip about the conversation they had to better help them with their business.  

I want to challenge you to go on to Linkedin and connect with 3 people this week that you met networking.
