Each month I'll focus on a different thing - LinkedIn, video, Yahoo and Google Groups, articles, Twitter, etc.
We'll go in-depth... and address your needs (as well as we can).
For more information, and the monthly ...

There are lots of small businesses there promoting their stuff (hawking their warez). This is quite a big ...

Don't you love those messages you get from someone you don't really know who ask if you will recommend them on LinkedIn?
I hate them.
Part of the issue is my connection policy: if someone invites me to connect I typically accept (with one exception). In part, this personal policy is because ...

Not sure why this hit TechCrunch... I thought the BIG news would be in a couple/few months when they hit 50M.
Is this a big milestone, nonethless, and I'm happy to congratulate LinkedIn (congrats LinkedIn!).
Mr. ReinkeFJ says in his comment:

There is a post from Jaculynn Peterson titled LinkedIn’s soon-to-be-missed opportunity, which has some great points. I hear these points continually as people wonder what the heck LinkedIn ...

No, this isn't the much-anticipated post announcing a link between LinkedIn and Twitter (like there is on Facebook), but I do want to talk briefly about Twitter. I'm assuming that you (readers of this blog) are interested in social networking, marketing, etc. for business, personal or job search reasons.

TechCrunch has a great post on Xing... I get asked all the time about Xing... what is it, should you be on it, etc.
I don't have an account on Xing, although if I had time I would. Xing has had a strong foothold in Europe... I kind of think of ...

Interesting timing, considering my post on the JibberJobber blog titled LinkedIn Maintenance: Do This Right Now (or else?). Jay Deragon, author of The Relationship Economy, writes about LinkedIn's additions to their user agreement.
These are additions that could have a profound impact on your future use of LinkedIn:
