I think if you want an "animated" group, where there is networking, collaboration and communication, you should complement your group with a Yahoo or Google group. I still need to do another post about the benefits of Groups for Group owners (which should be the last in a series of posts on Groups). Not many networking opps in Groups, are there?

In the description of the group I told the objective is networking BUT... I'd like to animate the group. As manager of the group what can I do? I'm already member of quite a few LinkedIn groups but I wonder what are the benefits of all of them. I do want to leverage my group. Do you have any suggestion? P.S.: I'm a PR Consultant >> no product but services. Thank you for your help!!! Hi,

I’m already member of quite a few LinkedIn groups but I wonder what are the benefits of all of them.

I do want to leverage my group. Do you have any suggestion?

P.S.: I’m a PR Consultant >> no product but services.

Thank you for your help!!!

Having said, that it is very useful, expecially in a professional environment to find other people with like-minded experience, interests and associations. Or to find experience that you need to acquire quickly - but don't have. LinkedIn Groups accomplishes this and so long as LinkedIn continues to evolve their Groups functionality it will be increasingly useful. The trick is to decide whether its more valuable than creating a group on some other social platform. As with every technology, none of it is perfect.
