It seems like only weeks ago (and it was) that I moved the blog to the gotlinkedin.com domain. Well it appears we will be moving once again. My original thought was that since this blog is about LinkedIn that it just made sense to include the word LinkedIn in the title. This site is designed […]

Double Shot of Jason…Personalizing Weblinks
Even though I’m about to release a book on LinkedIn, I still take time to read other blogs about LinkedIn. Why? Because even though I know more about LinkedIn than the average person, I don’t know it all. I learned something new today. I constantly remind people to personalize their profile URL’s. Today Jason Alba […]
Crappy “Custom” Invitations
Jason Alba at “I’m on LinkedIn now what” has posted a great post on canned invitation requests. The invitation is hilarious because: 1. The person in their invitation seems to be trying to sell Jason on what a great tool LinkedIn 2. Jason has already released a book on LinkedIn Talk about not even taking […]
Got LinkedIn eBook in Final Edits
I received the final edits today and am putting the finishing touches on the book, so I have not put the time in to add new written content. But, there’s always a comic to post. Today’s comic answers the question of what if Freddy and Jason Voorhies connected (Actually I think the character is Michael […]

I offer a mitigating identity theft service and every business owner must have what I’ve got and they must give me the audience of […]
If a Tree Falls in the Woods
does it make a sound? I don’t know, but when Scott Allen at LinkedIntelligence posted that he was stepping back from posting on a consistent basis about LinkedIn, there was a clear sound. It was the sound of gasps from those of us who have come to rely on his perspective, advice, stories, and humor in regard to […]
LinkedIn, Go the Distance…
Here are the facts: I have 215 connections, 15,000 2nd degree connections and 1.6 million 3rd degree connections. Here is the problem: LinkedIn provides no efficient way to slice and dice the information into a meaningful format. So we’re all building large networks with millions of people in them but we have no easy way […]
Book Update
While I hoped to have everything completed by April 30th, the editing process is taking longer than expected. Part of it is that I am blind when I read it. I’ve looked at every page so many times that the obvious errors don’t even register. Someone else has graciously taken over the editing process and […]
