This is actual video of the weekly Integrated Alliances Ask an @LinkedInExpert Q/A Webinar here the audience asks questions for the panel of experts. In this case it is Mike O’Neil, Founder of Integrated Alliances and Lori Ruff, VP of Operations for Integrated Alliances. This was shot May 18, 2009, Noon Eastern.
After 5+ years of LinkedIn telling users not to put personal information like phone numbers in our profiles, they gently slipped in this very capability the past few days. It is almost a secret it seems so I am out telling the world.
It isn’t all we want, but it helps. Here is what mine looks like now:
Mike O'Neil's LinkedIn Personal Information Screen
This capability appears at the botton of a profile, above the Contact Settings. The data must be entered by the user. It includes Phone, Address, IM, Birthday and Marital Status (engaged is not an option, sorry).
Pray and maybe they will add a field for E-Mail in another 5 years! I will take 5 to 1 odds on that never happening. Please pass the word so we can better start communicating with one another.
Last week, there is a big stir from the Social Media Connection Broadcast Network, a group of the most influential social media experts in the studio so you can see, hear, experience their expertise and energy.
The team consists of Jay Deragon, David Bullock, David Cooper, Sherman Mohr, Dan Ryan, Irene Williams and myself. This is the modern day, social media equivalent of MTV in many ways. It all launched this week - visit www.SocialMediaConnection.com
