Linkedin is a very good resource to expand the network. You can search people with certain background or certain title as long as they are in your network. It is very easy to expand your network. You just invite people with “LION” (Linked-In Open Networker) on their title. They are happy to connect with you. For example, “Allen (Ting-Lun) Lin” would love to receive connect request from you. Hahaha. Once they accept your invitation, you can expand your search to these LION’s friends. Therefore, you can easily reach people with specific criteria. (Be careful! Don’t input LION on keywords field and start to add people without checking. In this way, you may invite those who work for a company named LION and not happy to be contacted by strangers.)
However, there were two restrictions using this site:
1. You can only connect with someone you already know. (Site policy to avoid annoyance from people you don’t know)
If you wanna reach unknown people, you can ask one of your connections to introduce you to his/her friend. Or, you can pay Linkedin to send out short message to introduce yourself. But even you pay, the number of short message you can sent is really limited.
