Welcome to The Senate Site

The Trib published an LA Times story on Reid Hoffman, chairman and president of LinkedIn.com.

His service lets professionals create online profiles that help them connect with other professionals to get advice, find jobs and make hires. Hoffman sees it as a karmic, self-perpetuating social circle.

More than 24 million people agree and have traded in their Rolodexes crammed with business cards in favor of LinkedIn, which makes money in a variety of ways, including advertising and premium subscriptions. The site offers people the chance to do small favors that could help others in big ways. That's Hoffman's theory of the ''small good,'' something he's been practicing for years.

Senate folk on LinkedIn include Senate President John Valentine, Majority Assistant Whip Sheldon Killpack, Chief Deputy of the Senate Ric Cantrell, and Majority Assistant Laura Barlow.

We also host the Government 2.0 group, a network of citizens and professionals exploring New Media tools to help inspire citizen engagement. More info here. If you read this blog you're qualified and we'd love to have you join the team.
