In this day of technology, our professional network has immense value as we need the right connections to get us places. Everyone today relies on their network to keep friends and family updated, to get in touch with people of similar interests, to find people suitable for their organizations or start a new business venture.
Socilab is an online site where we could analyze how wide our LinkedIn network is. Considering my network chart (image below), I found that I have multiple clusters of people either from the same location, from the university I studied in or my prior workplace. Considering it is real time data, the network chart helped me analyze my strong networks and where my network links are weak.
Network Charts are not very easy to read, but in situations like these give us an understanding on how wide and how diverse your network is with respect to location or industry. Use the link http://socilab.com/ to create your own network map and analyze your connections.
Very Interesting!
