TLPT Readers – Hesitant on Technology
Posted by Steve Tylock on 02 Mar 2010 | Tagged as: Outside LinkedIn
February’s poll results are in – most readers of The LinkedIn Personal Trainer wait to adopt technology.
That’s right – 73% are middle of the roaders and wait to try technology until after it’s been around a bit.
Let’s see what else…
Bah – Shut It Down – Follow-up on WSJ
Posted by Steve Tylock on 14 Jan 2010 | Tagged as: Outside LinkedIn
It seems like the Wall Street Journal’s “LinkedIn Killer” was just in the news – oh wait – it was;-)
Back in August I wrote about the flurry of activity on the net about this effort. We have an update, and it doesn’t look good for the killer effort…

Let’s talk about search results today – and how you can influence your web site’s search rank through the use of your LinkedIn profile.

It took a couple months, but I’ve been put back on the track of marketing systems gone bad…
Let’s have a look so that you can a) identify it when you receive it, b) enjoy a little bit of humor around the holiday season, and c) avoid setting up this sort of problem for yourself!

Posted by Steve Tylock on 15 Nov 2009 | Tagged as: About the Service, Outside LinkedIn
Pat’s email gave me a pause for concern.
What would I do if someone else setup a profile with my name?
How would I react if this pseudo-me had business dealings where I used to live?
Would I consider this an attempt at Identity Theft?
Let’s look at some of the issues…
Following vs Connecting – Twitter and LinkedIn Project Different Ties
Posted by Steve Tylock on 12 Nov 2009 | Tagged as: Outside LinkedIn
Reporting on my first week of Twitter – quite an eye-opener.
The single biggest difference between twitter and the use of LinkedIn that I’ve seen is the ability to follow other seemingly random people (and often be followed in return).

A different catchy title brought me to a recent post that suggested that a huge number of companies – 83% – are using Facebook, and I just didn’t buy it.

October’s poll results reveal an interesting pattern – that most users are involved in more than one networking site.
