6. Ugly
• Constant tinkering of LinkedIn platform
• Here today, moved tomorrow
• Different ‘like’ options – this isn’t Facebook
• SPAM – so many fake connection
requests and content
• Constantly changing algorithms – check
out Andy Foote’s FB group
• Limits to searching

7. Sharing article with # and ‘@’

Find an article of interest, cut/paste on your Home Page, use ‘@’ to tag people
you want to see the article and a ‘#’ to be added to a relevant community. You
can also create your own hashtag much like Twitter

8. Personalize your connection
request on Mobile

To personalize on Mobile, don’t select ‘Connect.’ First select View Full Profile
and you’ll see the ‘More’ option along with other options. Some profiles may
have the right screen as an option first – depends on their setting.

9. Mobile connection - next

After selecting, More’ you’ll see these options on the left. By selecting
‘Personalize invite’ you can personalize the invite and then send it

10. Still need help? Tweet

This may seem a bit
counterintuitive but LinkedIn is
much more response on Twitter at
@LinkedInHelp than in any other
way. Go there sometime to see
what issues others are having

11. Thank you!
• I appreciate the opportunity to present
