I am really becoming a big fan of the Hosting Industry group on LinkedIn.  When it was first launched, I mentioned it on the Web Hosting Show podcast, however – I had no idea how useful it would be till now, a few months down the road.  Here recently, I used it to get a few guests lined up for future interviews on the Web Hosting Show – and thus far the response has been really superb.

As much as I like the mix of hosting customers and web hosting professionals meeting in one place, the highlight of this group on LinkedIn is that thus far it is only people who are working in the hosting industry in one way, shape or form.  With that said, it kind of blocks out some of the discussions, such as “Is ‘X’ web host any good?” or “Stay away from ‘X’ as a Web Host, they just robbed me!” and well – you get the idea.
