LinkedIn For What?
Oct 15, 2008

Submitted by Jasongoldberg: I went on LinkedIn for the first time in months today and accepted about 150 pending contact requests. Great. Now what? I never find much use for LinkedIn except for people trying to contact me -- typically for things I'm not really interested in. I also find that if I ignore LinkedIn for a bit of time it kinda just goe (Read More)

@scobleizer Is LinkedIn still relevant if you're not looking for a job? Or, is there something going on there that I'm just missing?

@VincentWright Yes. Whether it is professional networking or social networking you have to think of what you are getting out of all your hyper activity. This is very true in case of professional networking because every minute we spend there adds to cost like any other resource we use.

: Linkedin has opened me new avenues to connect to key people of my field which otherwise is not possible in Job search sites as I am representing many freelancers who don't have much time to promote their image online. Linkedin has given us front page listings in google searches to our Project Vyas which over a period of time has created recognition and credibility among our local communities as no one else in our town has used Linkedin in such an extensive way. Today many software professionals, project managers, HR people natives of my town settled abroad are trying to connect to me on their own. The secret is stand out in any network whether it is Linkedin or Stumbleupon or Digg. Stay long and consistently.

3 Quick Ways to Use Social Media to Get to Big Media
Oct 13, 2008

Submitted by Louisgray from Google Reader: The world of PR is in a state of turmoil. As advertising dollars shrink, print pubs have all but disappeared and online media sites are strapped for resources. Only the biggest stories seem to get picked up these days. So, how do you get the press to pay attention? Try social media.At BreakingPoint, I’ve seen a huge impact (Read More)

: In the interest of full disclosure, I’m the founder of PitchEngine…
In regard to your#1 and #2 I believe PitchEngine is becoming a very valuable tool for PR Pros to bring their current traditional PR methods into the social realm.
Our users are able to generate and share social media releases and share them via email, links, or direct to twitter, friendfeed, facebook and other social apps.
Media are beginning to receive PR pitches via RSS feed instead of random emails, voicemails and the like. It’s worth a look http://pitchengine.com.
Thanks for this post!

Michael Seitzman: Sarah Palin Naked
Sep 12, 2008

Huffington Post She said "nucular." Twice. I realized three things tonight. For one, if you are a McCain/Palin/Bush voter, you and I do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in brain power. Two, she really is as ignorant as I feared. And, three, she really is kinda hot. Basically, I want to have sex with her on my B (Read More)

Rpetty,

: I didn't "love" the interview. It was ok. She seemed coached, nervous and out of her element. Charlie Gibson asked some very good questions. Questions I would like to see Obama answer. Gibson was condescending and it was obvious he doesn't like her AT ALL.

My advice to the McCain camp is to quit coaching her so much. What we like about her is that she is a real person.

I thought about responding to this article, but there is nothing worthy of debate. Another example of the fringe left doing what they claim the right does.

BTW, the authors wife is the tranny.

: The way I see it, there are only 3 things here worth commenting on, all of which point out the authors glaring hypocrisy, and lack of ability to understand.

1) "What you are NOT is responsible, informed, curious, thoughtful, mature, educated, empathetic, or remotely serious. I mean it."

This coming from someone who is clearly as far as you can be from responsible, informed, mature, educated, empathetic, or remotely serious, as evidenced by his lack of anything substantive in his entire post.

2) "Stop voting for people you want to have a beer with. Stop voting for folksy. Stop voting for people who remind you of your neighbor. Stop voting for the ideologically intransigent, the staggeringly ignorant, and the blazingly incompetent."

Is it just me, or did the author just describe Obama to a T?!

3) "Vote for someone smarter than you. Vote for someone who inspires you."

The author clearly has missed the fact that Palin has done exactly these things, and breathed life into this election, by showing her intelligence and by INSPIRING many of us... something Mr Obama has yet to do.

Goodbye Fail Whale: Twitter Dramatically Increases Reliability

: It would be interesting to know which method "Other 19%" is since it is more popular than Facebook. Facebook and Myspace may be outdoing the regular social bookmarking sites due to apps that now allow you to automatically share it with your friends on those sites, something that until recently, had to be manually done.
