I also think that many people are not on LinkedIn every day (well certainly not the people I know and have taught in my social media workshops) so posting too frequently may mean that someone misses an important status update that you would like the to have seen.

Personally I don’t recommend sending all posts from Twitter as the improved functionality in LinkedIn allows is to post a really compelling message and that in turn can result not just in greater online visibility but potential leads and opportunities. Also what you might Tweet about is not necessarily relevant to your LinkedIn community.

I see you’ve taken bits and pieces of what I wrote about – glad to provide some inspiration.

In actuality, the entire post is referring to a business that decided to do 15 FACEBOOK updates in a a period between 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Which is way over doing it on Facebook – that absolutely, as stated in the post, generates the behavior of un’liking’ someone or hiding their updates all together – defeating the purpose of communication and relationship.

And, I did say that social networking is about relationships. And, if someone is “speaking” to you online and asking a question, it’s never good practice to “shut down” communication because you hit your limit. If the networking is chatty, then your thoughts that 15 is too much, are way off target. I lead twitter chats, if I only answered and engaged in conversation 15 times during a Twitter chat- I would be deemed as cold and at the very least a snob. Who wants to try to speak to someone if they won’t chat back with them?

I tried to highlight you in positive form in the post I wrote. In fact, you used that part of my post here. So, I hope you get the lots of good convo from the parts you chose to highlight.

With appreciation,
