Rohit / Richa :
With both of you , I have earlier shared my blog :
Then I came across following news in Eco Times ( 23
Aug ) , and found that Linkedin is
moving in the same direction
I thought of bringing this to your notice

======================================
A good mentor can be a great thing to have, but a hard
thing to find. Now LinkedIn is attempting to pair those looking for advice from a mentor with
professionals willing to share it through
a new mentoring feature. It started rolling out in a few select locations this week, with
plans for it to go nationwide soon.
For now, all of the available mentors
have been hand-selected by LinkedIn (although it will be available for everyone
eventually), and they can set perimeters
about that people they’re willing to mentor and on what topics.
For instance, a mentor might say they’re open to
helping students that graduated from the same college they did or those that
are connected within a few degrees of others in their professional network on
the site.
Mentees also have the opportunity to
filter what they’re looking for in a mentor, and when there’s a match, the two
will be connected on the site so they can message each other. It’s a
Tinder-like concept, in that you won’t be able to chat with each other unless
you get matched up first.
You can also end a conversation
whenever you’d like, so if you
decide the fit isn’t perfect during your first conversation, neither party is
under any obligation to continue talking.
