PLN

PLN is the new buzzword in social media, it stands for : Professional Learning Network.

People who are eager to learn and train themselves even outside of university courses, degrees, and conferences, participate in professional online discussions. They are looking for like-minded professionals and engage in conversations about professional issues, events, trends, etc. They do it by following colleagues on Twitter, friending them on Facebook, or maybe sharing a beer with them in a pub if they are lucky enough to live in the same city.
