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).
The nature of the tie is not the same as on LinkedIn – it’s a question of expecting to see interesting tweets from the other, not a sharing of contacts, recommendations or professional reputation.
Here, let me give an example…
What Social Media Sites Are Hot – Lies, Damned Lies, And Statistics
Posted by Steve Tylock on 08 Nov 2009 | Tagged as: Outside LinkedIn
I’m going to take the Mark Twain acknowledgment – I did not come up with all of the above title, but if you can think of a better quote, I’d like to hear it;-)
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.
I had to check further, and my suspicions were quickly confirmed as telltale traces of distortion caught my notice.
Sure, the sites will get me to point to their articles, but you might enjoy following along as I tackle the subject…

In conjunction with the tweeting style, I’ll try to keep this entry short…
Most LinkedIn Users Multi-Network
Posted by Steve Tylock on 01 Nov 2009 | Tagged as: Outside LinkedIn
October’s poll results reveal an interesting pattern – that most users are involved in more than one networking site.
But you know me – it’s never that simple – let’s have some fun…
TV Pilot Today And Training Event Friday!
Posted by Steve Tylock on 19 Oct 2009 | Tagged as: Outside LinkedIn
Two things that just can’t wait:
- I helped tape a pilot for a new show called Employment INsights the other week, and they’ve got a preview out.
- If you happen to be local, I’ll be training with The Project Solvers this Friday.
It was an interesting process to tape the show, and I’ve got a couple links for you to check these out.
When Social Marketing Goes Bad – Again!
Posted by Steve Tylock on 09 Oct 2009 | Tagged as: Outside LinkedIn
Hot on the heels of my “friend” trying to get me to join a new group and get exposed to their wonderful marketing message, I’ve got not one, but two more instances of flawed contacts around my LinkedIn presence.
First – we’ve got to throw out the enhancement / dating / watching sort of spam – I’m not talking about that at all. Nobody wants it and it’s very automated. (actually – somebody, somewhere must want it or they’d stop doing it…)
I’m talking about situations that don’t work out well when someone has a “real” product and they want more people (you and I;-) to know about it – and they don’t take care with their message.
That’s when things go off course…
Results For The Great LinkedIn Personal Trainer Poll Poll!
Posted by Steve Tylock on 07 Oct 2009 | Tagged as: About the Service, Outside LinkedIn
Alternatively titled “Poll Results Show Nearly Everyone Won’t Take Polls!”
At the beginning of September I added polling to The LinkedIn Personal Trainer blog site – and created a post begging for responses with an innovative poll that attempted to offer an answer (to a yes or no question) that nearly everyone could respond to.
The results are shocking! Shocking I tell you!
Book Signing to Support Children’s Literacy at Barnes and Noble
Posted by Steve Tylock on 23 Sep 2009 | Tagged as: Outside LinkedIn
The appeal was simple: “Steve, The Syracuse Alumni Club of Rochester is holding a book fair to raise funds for children’s literacy. As a local author, would you be willing to sign books for an hour to help support this?”
My response was just as simple: “Count me in!”
Their event was set for September 26th and 27th – and it looks like that weekend is coming up, so I’ve got plans to be out there on Sunday.

Slightly off-topic entry today, and a slice of the author’s life outside of LinkedIn – but a good education and lesson at the end if you’ll humor me…
How To Respond To LinkedIn Competitors – AKA – WSJ
Posted by Steve Tylock on 06 Aug 2009 | Tagged as: About the Service, Outside LinkedIn
So the web is a-flutter with reports that the Wall Street Journal is looking to grab LinkedIn’s market.
That’s an interesting proposition.
But really – what are their prospects of doing so?
