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, Leadership, and Success, particularly in a corporate context.   I have a number ...

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 as well. As expected, the proliferation of such networks is giving rise consolidation and ...

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 people continue to clamor for on LinkedIn.  Each member has space for blogs and for an ...

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 graphical overhaul of the User Interface. So far, I'm liking the new interface, which takes a ...

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 some long-awaited changes, such as the ones I compiled last ...

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 than one LinkedIn account.  I continue to see lots of questions from people who have ...

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 to come out to Livingston, NJ the first Tuesday of every month. A Yahoo! group has been created ...

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 of my accepting these invitations is rather small. This is primarily because managing a ...

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 to do more of them -- at least once per quarter, if not once per month. Looking ...
