If you haven’t guessed, I’m working through the lyrics of the video – because in order to make it in, I really did have to think highly of each favorite thing;-)
This line gives me a chance to reflect…

I’m new to the twitter world, but definitely enjoy seeing good tweets coming through LinkedIn.
If you’re connecting to people you know, the twitter connection makes it easy to keep everyone aware of what’s going on.
But you’ve got to keep a handle on things…

Here’s a bit of a tribute to LinkedIn for all my readers – I hope you enjoy it!
This thread will also help me start a number of postings over the next few weeks as I cover each of these favorite things – to explain them a little further.
Visiting this site for the first time?
If the video has brought you to The LinkedIn Personal Trainer for the very first time, a bit of an introduction is in order.
Hi – I’m steve!
And I wrote The LinkedIn Personal Trainer as a concise guide to getting started with LinkedIn – and sell it in both paperback and e-book formats.
This site is dedicated to exploring and using LinkedIn as an extension of that book.
Archives
I’ve written nearly 200 additional articles about new features, happenings in the LinkedIn world, and reader questions – and they’re all available to you through the “Archives”, “Categories”, and “Search” sections off in the header or right column.
Reader feedback
I’m always interested in the issues you face and looking for material for articles, so please don’t be a stranger. If you leave a comment, or send me a note, I’ll do my very best to respond quickly.
Like what you read?
And lastly, if you like what you’ve read here, please sign up for the email feed (or RSS if you prefer that) in the top right corner.
When you enter your email address, I’ll give you a short note whenever a new article is posted – so you don’t have to keep checking back.
The email will include the headline and first paragraph of the topic – and if you’re not interested, just delete it and move on. If the topic is of interest, there will be a link to click over for the full article.
And spread the word
Perhaps the biggest thing you can do to help me, is to spread the word about this site. If you learned something here, recommend the LinkedInPersonalTrainer.com to others.
As always, I remain committed to your continued success,
steve

How does one get started with LinkedIn?
You’re coming from a place of no presence and want to get going as fast as possible, but really don’t want to spend all of your time with the system…
Getting a quick and thorough, 90-minute introduction to LinkedIn is the entire reason “The LinkedIn Personal Trainer” exists, but let me offer some candid advice.

Updating mobile apps one day, the Inbox another – you’d think those people over at LinkedIn were busy or something…-)
I’ve taken a hard position on LinkedIn’s Inbox for a long time and this update makes the system palatable – let’s look.

May’s poll attempted to shed some light on rules about accessing LinkedIn at work…
<insert ominous music here – da-da-da-dum>
Media has written about some draconian policies, and while I have seen a few sites with restrictions, I haven’t seen a whole lot – So I asked!

LinkedIn Introduced a new “Job Seeker Premium Account” feature this past week, and you’ll want to see what is – and is not within it.

Using LinkedIn for fraud?
Twittering about where you are when you tell others you’re somewhere else?
Well guess what – that may come back to bite you in the proverbial donkey;-)
The AP is reporting on EFF releasing information obtained under FOIL about the FBI’s use of social networks. If you put it out there, expect that it could come into play.
But there is an aspect that warrants some concern…

“Steve, what’s up? Fred”
Great to get – unless you don’t happen to know Fred…
Then it’s an annoyance.
Michael asked in an email if I’d address this issue – and that sounds like fun, so let’s look at it.

Here on the LinkedInPersonalTrainer.com, I thought you might enjoy some good news for the week – LinkedIn appears ready to fill over seven dozen positions across the world.
Good for them I say;-)
I took a quick look and will show you where.
