LinkedIn and Twitter
Monday, December 29th, 2008No, 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. Actually, I ...
Darnit Amazon - First Edition vs. Second Edition
Friday, December 26th, 2008Okay, here's my first problem with the LinkedIn book and the two editions: I *just* bought your book ("I'm On Linked In, Now What?") from Amazon and received it a few days ago. However, I found out that there is a 2nd edition, but Amazon sent me the 1st edition. Darnit! My publisher ...
The Power of your LinkedIn Status
Saturday, December 20th, 2008There is a really, really interesting story from Gayle Howard, a resume writer in Australia, about a client of hers who had very different results with his LinkedIn status.

Friday, December 12th, 2008I've gotten to know Sophie Lagacé over the last year or so and have always appreciated her value-add comments on my blog - she's a good thinker, and freely shares her knowledge. My kind of person :) She has a really, really good post about LinkedIn and social networking... its a ...
LinkedIn Group Discussions Tip
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008Here's something I discovered on LinkedIn Group Discussions... when you leave a discussion comment, you can put your URL in and have it converted to a hyperlink. So, if you put your email signature in, like this: Jason Alba CEO - http://www.JibberJobber.com then it will make that a clickable link. This is one ...
LinkedIn Book - I'm on LinkedIn — Now What??? Second Edition (!!)
Monday, December 8th, 2008Last week I heard that Amazon is now shipping the second edition of my LinkedIn book, I'm on LinkedIn Now What???, and just barely noticed (at 6:04am MST this morning) that the image on the LinkedIn book page now has the "second edition" image... HOW COOL)! Happy About has been ...
Browsing LinkedIn With Intrusive Ads
Saturday, December 6th, 2008Yuck... this isn't a super-big deal but one of my pet peeves... I was browsing a new connection's Profile when an ad popped up (I use that term lightly), forcing me to close it before I could move on. I don't know how long this has been happening in LinkedIn, but it's ...
The Peril of Disconnecting With A LinkedIn Contact
Thursday, December 4th, 2008I am frequently asked what happens if you disconnect with a connection on LinkedIn ... most people want to know if their contact will get a message. I think we simply don't want to hurt feelings, as the connection might interpret the disconnect message to read something like: Jason has disconnected ...
