Learnings from Earnings: LinkedIn’s Q1 Reporting
Friday, May 3rd, 2013Check out this post: LinkedIn Stock Dips 10% On Slowing Growth, Even As It Beats Q1 Estimates On Sales of $324.7M; EPS $0.45 I don't like the stock market. I don't think it provides real feedback on how a company really does, so the 10% dip doesn't concern me at all. Having ...

LinkedIn Retires Answers: A Sad Announcement
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013Answers has been the #1 feature in LinkedIn since the beginning. On January 17, as I was doing my New LinkedIn Profile webinar, someone made a comment that they just got an email from LinkedIn that Answers was going to be retired. I'm baffled.

Friday, December 14th, 2012I still don't have the LinkedIn Profile. (UPDATE 12/19 I woke up to the new Profile... yeah :) Now, time to play with it!)

Uh Oh, maybe Jerry Albright is right about LinkedIn’s future
Tuesday, November 20th, 2012Check out this really interesting (and short) post on RecruitingBlogs. Will Thomson starts out: "I am noticing that more candidates are becoming less willing to receiving inmails on Linkedin." Not surprising. But it gets much worse in the comments.

Right now it is for an elite group of LinkedIn members (which ...
