NYT and LinkedIn and IHT People LinkedIn

I've been meaning to do this for a while, but I finally cracked and signed up under the user name ihtreaders.blogspot.com with LinkedIn, which is a business networking site that works in partnership with the http://www.nytimes.com/ - need to check out exactly what the relationship is and if it extends beyond paid for click-throughs, in which case I have earned the NYT about 1 cent. (No, I'm sure it's more.)

Interesting, good site, good navigation, real practical applications, and no I won't be subcribing to the upgrade service to be able to contact the very many people I know who are on this site.

I even set up a LinkedIn Group called International Herald Tribune Employees, Past and Present which thus far has a membership of ONE. (Me.)

I searched a few past and present IHT names, and found people working for Nokia, other media groups and inter alia (I'll probably get busted for this and LinkedOut but no matter):

I found there were 93 IHT employees on LinkedIn, about half women, half men and with a median age of 35 years, 49 of them in Paris, and 6 in London.

Quite interesting were the numbers of them interested in career opportunities.
