My friends and family know that I am a collector of maps. I started collecting maps when my Uncle Jim Schmelzer, who ran the computer department for National Geographic for decades, provided me with some of the best maps ever produced (in my humble opinion). As I got into the field of telcommunications, I started to collect cable maps, AS maps, coerage maps and to create maps of the networks I worked on.
This leads me to this map. As many folks have mentioned on blogs and in news article, LinkedIn has added a feature called ‘InMaps’ which ‘maps’ your professional network. Mine looks like this:
Visualising the interconnected nature of my professional contacts really drives home to my how business is all about relationshios. You can make your own map here.
