Stop Bothering Me LinkedIn!
Posted by Steve Tylock on 13 Jan 2012 | Tagged as: About the Service
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.

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…

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.

How Well Do You Really Know And Use LinkedIn?

Consider this challenge – four years ago it was easier to convince people that holding a training session on LinkedIn was a good idea. It was new, didn’t have any real help facilities, and wasn’t the most straight forward to understand.
But a couple months back I proposed an event that coincided with the release of The Revised LinkedIn Personal Trainer and was essentially rebuffed – the group members didn’t think they’d get much value from it.
And that’s why we came up with this quiz…

Posted by Steve Tylock on 27 May 2011 | Tagged as: About the Service
Several recent conversations and emails have started: “I made a change on LinkedIn and don’t see it…”
It seems to be happening quite a bit – you’ve connected with an old friend, but then LinkedIn isn’t showing that you are connected. Just what’s going on?
