Each month, I write up a round up of the previous month’s most popular posts on Strive Notes. Interestingly, this month only one of the fave five relates to PR…the rest are tech stories.

A friend in the US sent me an invite to join LinkedIn this week, and I decided to go for it. It’s an online network of 6.5 million professionals around the world representing 130 industries…a MySpace for grownups if you like.
