New LinkedIn Feature Means Faster, Stickier Communication With Your Network
Writing by Brick Marketing on Tuesday, 4 of March , 2008 at 10:14 am
LinkedIn Status is a pretty simple idea. It’s a feature that allows you to inject more personality into your profile, and it’s been available on other social networking platforms for a long time. But this is a noteworthy upgrade, because LinkedIn is such a widely-used tool.
It’s a relationship thing. LinkedIn wants to make it easy to see at a glance what your network is doing. The more frequently you update your LinkedIn Status, the more attention you are obviously paying to networking, and the more social networking - worthy you become.
And what do you say in your updates? What is important to your network? What questions do they ask? What news and blogs do they read? when you update your Status, focus on these thoughts and others that provide value to your connections, and your LinkedIn network will get stickier.
It’s simple. Go to your LinkedIn profile. You’ll see a link to enter your status, under your name. Chris Richman, Senior Product Manager at LinkedIn, has made a YouTube video describing how to use LinkedIn Status & other social networking features. To watch, click here:
