LinkedIn

"When developers get their hands on a social media platform, amazing things tend to happen. For example, Facebook transformed web apps when it launched the Facebook platform. The result has been everything from Facebook Connect to FarmVille. Twitter’s an even better example when you start thinking of the countless Twitter apps for mobile phones and the desktop. That magic is exactly what LinkedIn (LinkedIn) is hoping will happen with today’s launch of the LinkedIn Platform, which opens up outside applications to use LinkedIn’s data. Oh, and TweetDeck (TweetDeck) will be launching LinkedIn integration this week." - barbarars

Tell me again, why did they have a closed API like that? Was it just not ready? - Maxamad

Now there’s a new Twitter (Twitter) partnership launching tonight. This one is between Twitter and LinkedIn (LinkedIn), the popular business social network. Starting tonight and tomorrow morning, users of both services can sync their status updates. Yes, you can tweet from Twitter and it will update your LinkedIn, and vice versa. - barbarars

I just hope none of my contacts send ALL their tweets into linkedin, just the work related ones with #in - Mitchell McKenna

i am using #in selective option but i have noticed that some users are displaying all their tweets in their linkedin status update - barbarars

"Business social network LinkedIn, fresh off its milestone of 50+ million users, is now getting a makeover, and it definitely changes the way you use the social media website." - Mitchell McKenna from Bookmarklet

" * CONS (or “Lisp”) lists are inherently linear and sequential. One of CAR, CDR is constant-time, and the other is linear (on the length of the list). For a given list, there is only one CONS representation. - Richard ¿digame? Walker from Bookmarklet

Think of the lambda λ as a continuation, and a way to keep the left and right together. In practice, split does not have to behave uniformly, but for the sake of this talk, consider split to be purely functional with no side effects. You will notice we now have a corollary to the most low-level CONS equivalence, but one which is expressed functionally, recursively, by “binary decomposition and reassembly” - Richard ¿digame? Walker

Also same for other public profiles. - Zafer Yılmaz

now, working... - Zafer Yılmaz

Kind of like LinkedIn but with less formality, something that would use Facebook Connect, Twitter, FriendFeed, LinkedIn etc. etc. Your friends can leave supplementary comments to say why you'd be ideal for the job, but allow others to leave just a simple digital signature? - CannonGod

...people with larger networks of friends -- online and/or real -- would get an (unfair) advantage over folks who either don't have a lot of friends (for whatever reason) or who haven't yet developed their online social networks (for a variety of reasons). - .LAG liked that

True enough, though I think it should be taken into consideration as a supplement to application. In all fairness I wish more people saw the relevance of joining LinkedIn. - CannonGod from email

If you're looking or not what type of work are you after too? I'm after any reporting/data-related work, like data/reporting analyst, or can do QA, basic accounting, basic network admin, technical support and some photography. :-) #whatsyoururl - Kol Tregaskes

Creative touch ;-) It would be more and more; maybe six. : ) But make one of them top in the greek letter σ axis ;-) - Erhan Erdogan

If you have 2 business/services you offer, should you have 2 LinkedIn accounts or just have it all under one? I do have separate Twitter accounts....1 for each of the biz's and one for my personal. Seems crazy, but then again.....these 2 biz's don't really overlap each other. Or should I just concentrate on one in the "social media" arena? - Lorian Rivers

"My dad wouldn't let me have a computer because he didn't think it was relevant. I was in college before I actually got one. I think if he knew then what he knows now, I would have had one much earlier." - Oğuz Serdar from Bookmarklet

"Facebook may be the stickiest social network here in the U.S.—but LinkedIn is thought to be the default network for a “professional” profile and job history. So why are more employers using Facebook to do background checks on potential new hires than LinkedIn?" - Oğuz Serdar from Bookmarklet

"You might be using LinkedIn to stay connected with your business contacts, but there are alternatives on the Web that will help you network and enjoy some extra features while you're at it. Whether you want to hang out at some professional parties or you're more interested in sharing best practices, there are some really neat business-centric social networks on the Web you'll want to visit." - Amani from Bookmarklet

Social address book service Plaxo has been busy over the last few years building out social features, like a lifestreaming service, and integrating social data from sites like Facebook. But now it’s moving deeper into helping people do business networking. - René Fischer from Bookmarklet

"A month-long poll conducted on business social network LinkedIn has uncovered some fascinating numbers concerning social media platforms and brand presence. The biggest surprise was that Twitter was deemed more important to brands than LinkedIn, and the poll was performed on LinkedIn. With more than 3,600 respondents so far, each well understood in terms of job titles, company size, age and gender - this is a high-quality data set worth paying attention to. The question asked was simply: "What is the most important new platform for brands to master?" Options were Twitter, Facebook, the iPhone, Digg and LinkedIn." - Amani from Bookmarklet

Linkedin is still very powerful for networking and connecting to people in industries/jobs you are interested in. - Amani

"I sometimes have trouble when I’m talking to people at work who aren’t savvy with this whole Web 2.0 thing we’ve got going on here. I use the words Social Networking for some instances and Social Media in others. I don’t explain the differences because to most laypeople, there is none and really, when I start to go into my theory, eyes glaze over and my colleagues suddenly find that the coffee truck must be outside the building somewhere and they have to hurry or Bob from accounting is going to take the last corn muffin." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

It's a Venn diagram. Social media is the content, social networking is the relationship & conversation, social bookmarking is leaving links. like any good venn diagram they do intersect - Liam Delahunty
