I've been able to connect with a lot of professionals on Linkedin, as well as people from university. I connected with a few people from my internship, which is a great way of keeping in professional contact with them. Lots of people haven't replied to my requests though, which makes me feel it isn't a very active way of getting to connect with professionals.
