AR Institute launches on LinkedIn.com

The Institute of Industry Analyst Relations has expanded onto LinkedIn, the main business networking site.

The new IIAR group allows AR professionals to connect with each other, and allows members to pass on connections and requests for information to other people on LinkedIn. The site lists more than 500 current contacts at each of the major analyst firms: Forrester, Gartner and IDC, making is a useful tool for professionals wanting to better understand analysts interests and connections.

IIAR members will be getting invites by email over the next few days.
