LinkedIn Blog to Feature User Case Studies
Monday, April 7th, 2008 Ahh… this is what I’ve been waiting for! I’ve enjoyed LinkedIn’s blog so far – but this is where I think it moves from useful to compelling. Company news and feature how-to’s are great, but stories of real users really help people shift from concept to implementation.

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008Yesterday, April 1, April Fool’s Day here in the U.S., I wrote a post that began with:
In a surprising move, LinkedIn announced late Monday that they will be terminating their free service, beginning May 1.
It was pure satire, and got a lot of laughs (I’m told even within LinkedIn – one Sr. Director even reposted [...]

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008No, LinkedIn is not getting rid of their free service and accepting only PayPal!
