I admit it.
I finished updating my LinkedIn profile. I even uploaded a picture. Totally against my personal digital privacy policy, but there it is.
What would my wife say? Oh dear – she would get a big big smile on her face and say something like “Honey, isn’t that like a Facebook for professionals?”
And I would conceed. To be fair, I don’t check it daily (or more), I just log in twice a month and add new friends … I mean associates … I mean – oh heck, it is just Facebook – isn’t it?
Oh well… so here it is: My Public Profile
Anyway, it is a good way to stay in touch with folks at WOU, previously at WOU or otherwise. I haven’t uploaded a resume or anything – or even asked for references … but the idea is great. Recently I subscribed to 2 groups, which now send me daily digest emails … one of which is for Security professionals. I’m getting more email, but I think it’ll help keep me up-to-date in different areas.
Overall I’m pleased with the interface, security, privacy settings and general usage. Again, I’m not gonna be LinkedIn daily, but I might connect with a few more folks 😉
