Don't lose all your valuable LinkedIn contacts established over the years. Please take time to add a second email address to your LinkedIn account, preferably your personal email address. Many employees who start a LinkedIn account, use their company email address. That is fine, but by adding a secondary email to your account, you will able to switch from one to another at anytime and keep your established connections in the event you leave the company. It's easiest to do if you access your LinkedIn account from your computer. Getting to this feature may not be possible from the app on your smartphone or tablet.

Im not sure how many of your LinkedIn connections would do you a valuable favor. I guess it depends on who your connections are. Most of my connections are people who I know and provide me endorsements to my skills. This gives you added value when others (like prospective employers) look at your account. Like anything, the value in anything is how you use it. I don't consider LinkedIn a novelty but a tool.
How valuable my connections really are? I have 300+ folks on linked in, but really, how many of them would do me a VALUABLE favor?
A friend once told me by adding a common email address to an old LinkedIn account, would result in importing the connections to the current account you are using. Is this true? Has anyone created more than one LinkedIn account and found a way to consolidate them into the account they are using now? I also suppose there's a way to delete an old account no longer wanted?
