LinkedIn to Your Business Network

Writing by Brick Marketing on Tuesday, 17 of June , 2008 at 8:34 am

Unlike Facebook or Myspace, Linkedin is a social media network designed for business professionals to increase their network and social contacts…which in the business world means to better their business contacts. It is also a place for people searching for jobs can list their skills and business looking to hire can list their criteria. Linkedin gives business people the ability to make the contacts that they need to survive in the social media business network.

Adam Nash at the LinkedIn blog wrote a blog about LinkedIn after his key speeches at the 2008 Social Patterns conference.

LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network: the new medium for how business gets done. Our members find new ways to interact with each other and improve their business every day.
• LinkedIn a Purpose-Driven Network. LinkedIn was built and designed specifically with the business professional in mind. That kind of focus and relevance makes us as valuable as possible to the professional who comes to LinkedIn for the specific purpose of getting business done.

He also wrote a piece on the use of LinkedIn in the entertainment industry that is worth looking at.

Link directly to your media properties
As LinkedIn represents your professional brand online, use the three outgoing hyperlinks to send people right to your movie, music, or filmography online. Got your projects on iTunes? Netflix? Amazon? IMDb? YouTube? Link to these and enable people to review your creative efforts first-hand.
