found that I was not keeping up with World Streets because I do not use the
RSS feeds. And I wanted a weekly summary rather than daily emails or the
monthly summary. Some people are hard to please!

Using LinkedIn to keep up with World Streets

What I found is that if you join the World Streets Working Group on LinkedIn
- a free social/professional networking site -- you can get a daily or
weekly (your choice) summary of the World Streets posts sent directly to
your email. I use the weekly version to keep up myself.

Here is how you do it:
 
1. Sign in to LinkedIn at http://www.linkedin.com (or click on the link in
item 2)

2. Go to Groups and click on the World Streets Working Group (alternatively
just click this link: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=668837

3. Click the 'Join Group' button.

4. You will see that you get options for how often you would like to receive
summaries of activity in the group. The way it is set up, all World Streets
posts go to this group, and then are summarised for you at whatever
frequency you would like. Like something you see there, a single click takes
it to you on the World Streets site.

An additional benefit of joining the LinkedIn group is that you can see who
else is there, and communicate directly with others in the group who share
this interest.
