LinkedIn Answers and Yahoo! Answers are two great sites to find and share information on a variety of professional and personal topics.
With LinkedIn Answers you can ask a question and get answers from your
connections and people in your network. For example, if you’re looking for a event management company to help you plan your next offsite, ask for a recommendation under Administration > Event Services. It’s a great way to get referrals and an “outside” perspective to a question. I say “outside” because the it’s sent to those within your network of associates, but open for all LinkedIn users to answer. An answer from a friend-of-a-friend is more useful than a random website you found online.
Yahoo! Answers covers a wider array of topics than just professional services. Here you can find pet tips and do-it-yourself instructions in addition to business related information.
Ask a question, answer a question and you just might just find what you are looking for. If you have a question that you’d like to see answered on Admins @ Work, please send it me at erin@adminsatwork.com.
