Why Won’t You Accept My Network Connection Request?
I recently read an article by Meg Guiseppi entitled, “ 14 Reasons I Won’t Follow You on Twitter ” , and I found that I shared many of her views on what constitutes a good network connection on Twitter . In my case, however, I am a member of multiple social Read More...
The Power of Personal Branding
We live in a society that is different in so many ways from the society that our parents grew up in.  For one thing, we are more globally connected.  Another point is that sales and marketing at a personal level is more critical for long-term Read More...
One Site To Rule Them All
If you find yourself trying to manage and remember all the social/professional networking sites that you are on, then XeeSM may be for you! I have found it very useful to point people to all of my networks, so that they can connect to me from whichever Read More...
Continuing My Quest for More LinkedIn Improvements
It’s been almost 16 months since my last LinkedIn Feature Request post , and thankfully, the folks at LinkedIn have not been sitting idly by. No, they still haven’t brought back the Personal Plus membership (or a reasonable $5-10/month alternative) to Read More...
The IT Roadmap Expo
This past Tuesday, I had the great fortune of participating in the NYC IT Roadmap Expo 2009 as a session speaker presenting a case study . This was a first for me, and I am happy to report that I had a great time.  My presentation was well received Read More...
Random Thoughts to Close Out April 2008
I haven't posted in a few weeks, but not because I don't have anything to write -- it's because I haven't mastered the art of dividing my time across all needs and wants. Here are a few thoughts that hint of posts to come: I need to write about Strategy, Read More...
Centralized Social Networking
Right now, I belong to a large number of social networks (more on that later).  For the most part, I'm really only active on LinkedIn , but as more people connect to me on Plaxo and Facebook , my profile has been getting some action on those networks Read More...
More Professional Networking...
I recently came across another Professional Networking site called Marzar because of a question and answer session on LinkedIn Answers . Of course, I joined to see if it is worthy of any hype, and so far, I think it has many of the little things which Read More...
My Updated LinkedIn Feature Requests
The month of February 2008 was a very busy one at LinkedIn , it seems.  A number of improvements and modifications were made to the site , including network upgrades which now show Group Membership changes, a much maligned News function, and a major Read More...
Random Notes on a Leap Day
I have a little bit of everything to share today. Professional Networking LinkedIn has performed quite a few upgrades in recent days, and they've upgraded their site quite a bit. It looks nice, I must say. I hope this is just the beginning of them implementing Read More...
Dealing with Duplicate Accounts in LinkedIn
Okay, for the next few weeks, I'll probably be on a little LinkedIn kick, to make up for some lost time over the past few months.  The real purpose of this post, however, is to help people identify and address problems that come from having more Read More...
Another LinkedIn Live Event
I finally had the chance to attend another live networking event of NJ LinkedIn members , similar to the one I attended back in October . If you're in the NY/NJ metro area, and would like to enjoy a casual networking event once a month, then feel free Read More...
Notched Up: A different perspective on recruiting
As you may well know by now, I am a huge proponent of the LinkedIn Network . On account of my many LinkedIn connections, I routinely receive a fair number of invitations to join other business or social networks. For a variety of reasons, the likelihood Read More...
LinkedIn Live...
On Tuesday, I went to a LinkedIn gathering that was put together by some Northern NJ members of LinkedIn. It was a pretty decent event, and I got to meet some very nice and interesting people. It was my first such event, and I'm pretty sure that I'm going Read More...
