How Good is Your Profile?

April 28, 2009 by Sean Nelson

The Linkulator allows you to grade your profile and compare it to the Average LinkedIn user (at least of those who have completed it). It takes a couple of minutes and will provide you with a numeric score of your profile, display the average user score, and then it classifies your score and provides some tips on how to improve your profile.

Sean is working on helping a client with their health insurance because they contacted me after seeing my last “What are you working on?” post. On Twitter they would be responding to my Tweet. I’m still working on learning Twitter so I’m not sure what a response to a Tweet is. On LinkedIn that response is called a “new Lead”, “New business” and “new client”.

With the addition of the searchable directory and the discussions features the equation changed. Now you can interact with others. The problem is that few people are participating.
