Join Facebook Topic Groups to Learn More About Your Industry
You might think LinkedIn is the only site that keeps up with your field, but there is a lot of conversation on Facebook too. Look for Facebook groups related to your industry or work to listen to these conversations and connect with other professionals.
If you use Facebook a lot, Topic Groups make it easy to track industry trends as they appear right in your news feed. Even if the groups you join have little or don’t want to write about yourself, you can still learn a lot just by looking at what others are posting (and resulting from the discussion). Search for your job title or industry on Facebook, then filter the results by clicking the Groups tab. Look at the descriptions of the groups, how many members they have, private or public, to decide which ones to join.
