Twine weekend

I just received a Twine invite and will test the service over the weekend.

Twines are smart networks that help you organize, share and discover information around your interests with like-minded people.

I’m still trying to create a profile and exploring twines. Will give reviews and screenshots later.

10. Getting things done with the Inbox by Chris Richman

Some of you perusing our site this past week, may have noticed a few changes in the way you organize your Inbox. Yes, there are a few simple changes, besides just the updated look and feel, so I thought I’ll take a brief moment to capture and outline the upgrade to your Inbox user experience.

9. Hot Topic: The Importance of a single email address by April Kelly

On LinkedIn your primary email address serves as your account number. This email address will also be the one that all LinkedIn correspondence is sent to, such as invitation notifications. If you have more than one active email address it is important that you register all of them on one LinkedIn account to ensure that you receive all of your communications and establish all of your connections on one account. If a friend sends you an invitation at an email address that is not registered with your LinkedIn account, you may inadvertently create a new account with that email address.

7. The LinkedIn API Opportunity by Lucian Beebe

LinkedIn is truly taking off. Measure it by the accelerating rate of new professionals creating networks in LinkedIn, more than a million every six weeks. Measure it by the dramatic increase in site visits, well over a million unique visitors every week. The value of your LinkedIn network is growing by leaps and bounds. While we can provide you a lot of value on the LinkedIn.com web site, it’s time you derive the same value from your business network as you visit other sites across the web.

6. Now companies too have profiles on LinkedIn by Maisy Samuelson

Starting now, you’ll be able to see over 160,000 profiles of companies on LinkedIn, ranging from Fortune 500 companies (e.g. eBay) to philanthropic organizations (e.g. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) as well as LinkedIn’s own Company Profile page. Company Profiles on LinkedIn is a succinct overview of a company’s industry data in combination with LinkedIn data along certain key metrics. You’ll get a better picture of it as I show you a quick demo and an overview, after the jump.

5. What’s new in LinkedIn Groups by Benjamin Guthrie

Membership in a group affords users the following three benefits:

1. Search: You have access to the profiles of all of the other members of your group.
   
2. Communication: You have the ability to directly contact other members of your group for free.
   
3. Badge: You have the option to display your group as a digital bumper sticker.

3. Guess who’s viewed your profile? by Steven Stegman

When you log in, you may notice on the right hand side of your homepage a box with the number of users who’ve viewed your profile recently. Once you click on it, you’ll see relevant industry and job background details of the users who’ve viewed your profile. Of course, you have control over what is displayed when you view someone’s profile, ranging from not showing any details, to allowing simple anonymous characteristics, like title and industry, to revealing your full name and headline. You can change your settings here.

2. A photo is worth a thousand words by Adam Nash

Adding a profile photo is one of the most commonly requested features for the LinkedIn profile, primarily because many people (like me) tend to recognize their colleagues and classmates more reliably by face than by name. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and with this feature we hope to make it easier for people to form richer professional connections online.
