Patrick Schwerdtfeger discusses LION (which stands for LinkedIn Open Networker) groups on LinkedIn and the opportunity to get widely connected quickly in the process.  LION groups consist of people who are willing to connect with anyone, even if they don't know you directly.  It's a very fast way to gain hundreds or even thousands of connections and then use those LinkedIn connections to target business prospects.

This video was recorded on August 15, 2009 in Berkeley, CA.  It was part of a full-day workshop entitled Social Media Victories  Real Businesses, Real Campaigns, Real Results which focused on how entrepreneurs, small business owners and self-employed service professionals can leverage Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube to grow their businesses.

This video is about leveraging LInkedIn connections quickly.  LION (which stands for LinkedIn Open Networker) groups are full of people who will network (or connect) with anyone.  That means you can get a lot of connections fast.  Then, if you are trying to get into a particular company for business, you can search for fellow LIONs who already work at that company and who can make an introduction for you.  It amounts to a powerful strategy to leverage LInkedIn for business.
