Let’s talk about some LinkedIn advice that I’ve seen others offer – connecting to people you compete against.
And I’m not meaning complementary services, situations where you’ve partnered in the past, or best friends where you’ve both entered the same field – I mean the people that will take bread off your plate.
You’d think keeping them at a distance would be the smart thing to do…

Not mine – but words I hear often enough.
This phrase, or something like, is currently the number one comment or email topic I receive. It has been enough to push me into several articles about the subject – and apparently one more.
It isn’t advice I like to give out, but if you’ve had enough of LinkedIn, this is the article for you.

One thing’s for certain, people are either optimistic or pessimistic about the economy for this coming year.
There’s no middle ground. Things will either get better – or worse…

Let’s take a moment to ring out 2011 and look back at some of the most read articles for the year.
It’s been an interesting one with the release of The Revised LinkedIn Personal Trainer and the public stock offering from LinkedIn. (The later of which didn’t make much of an impact here…)
It’s hard to compare an article written in January against an article written in November – the one’s just been around a whole lot longer to attract attention. So I’ve used a bit of a weighting to try to factor that in.
And so – here they are – the top ten articles from 2011…

I’ve been regularly asked “Can I poll just my group on LinkedIn?” and have had to respond “no” – before today;-)
LinkedIn has linked the polling application to groups and now you can.
It’s not as nice as sliced break, but it’s better than it was…

If you follow any of the mainstream media about LinkedIn you’ve probably been hounded to “remove these overused words from your profile!”
Please allow me to set your mind at easy – there’s no reason to worry.

Since it happens to be 12 days before the big day, I thought it might be fun to point out the “Twelve Days of LinkedIn” video. Short, unaccompanied, and hopefully worth a chuckle or two…
To your continued success,

The marketing folks at LinkedIn have apparently rolled out more than one update.
Earlier in the week I showed how uninspiring I found their plea to use the profile-skills feature.
