Sarah Palin Joins LinkedIn

Is Sarah Palin really looking for work? Or did she post her resume on LinkedIn just out of boredom?

Sarah Palin has joined LinkedIn. And guess what? She's interested in "job inquiries." The former Alaska governor has posted her resume on the professional social-networking web site LinkedIn. The service boasts over 45 million users who connect and refer colleagues. Instead of using the Facebook term "friends," LinkedIn users have "connections." Palin had over 500 connections as of Saturday evening. The URL for Palin's LinkedIn profile uses "/governorpalin" despite the fact that Palin resigned from her job as Alaska's governor in July 2009. The University of Idaho is the sole education entry on Palin's LinkedIn profile. She does not list the four other institutions she attended before earning her degree.

I guess a $7M book deal advance only goes so far.
