    LinkedIn has always been the preeminent tool for serious business networking, but the problem is it never had any actual networking tools. Sure, you could collect folks in your network and you could post an online profile that acts as a permanent online resume. The group's functions offer a form of interaction, but nothing in the realm of social networking in a pure sense of communicating directly with your peers. That's why the new set of tools introduced this morning is so exciting. LinkedIn now provides a set of tools for directly collaborating with the members of your network. Huddle…

Everywhere you turn, there is word of layoffs and bleak financial news, but Joe Lichtman offers a survival strategy in his latest FastForward blog; it involves a two-pronged digital approach that could be applied to practically any big city paper. First, Lichtman prescribes transforming a newspaper's website into a go-to portal for all things related to the city where the paper publishes, instead of just an online version of the daily paper. That might mean including links to competitor's content, as Boston.com has done with its local…
