Don’t get Linked In? I do now.
I posted a video around the public safety of facebook a few days ago, and I’m still not convinced that donating your information to that particular medium is beneficial.
Linked In is also fairly new to me, although now I think probably it’s more mainstream than I originally gave it credit for - having been around before such things were referred to as ’social networks’.
Incidentally, a colleague told me he treated it as a rainy day thing, so that struck a chord. Thus, I was willing to put a little more effort in – being much more acceptable to me than that facebook for business purposes.
The thought of any future employer or customer being able to search through fluff, stuff and nonsense just makes me want to keep my private networks private, and my business networks businessy.
However – this interview post, a 15 mins thing with one of the most active users – 4200 contacts, was an eye-opener this evening.
I can see this stuff is still in its infancy, but I ‘get it’ better now. Many thanks Chip.
Any other Linked In stories will find me listening?
