[LinkedinBlogger] A message from Linkedin's CEO, Reid Hoffman

LinkedIn

August 5, 2005

For two years, we’ve been building a new kind of
business tool, one that lets you benefit from and
enhance professional relationships that matter. This
summer, we’re taking several more steps toward making
LinkedIn an essential resource for you.  New Name
Search: All of LinkedIn for Every User

We’re introducing the best professional search on the
Web. Now when you search for someone by name, you’ll
get results from the entire LinkedIn Network of more
than 3.3 million registered professionals. And we’ve
improved People search, too — you’ll see not only
matching professionals in your network, but also the
top results from the entire LinkedIn Network.
Introductions: Greater Trust and Speed

Overwhelmingly, users have told us that four-degree
referrals take too long and require too many people to
get the real benefit of a referred introduction. We
agree. Introductions, our new name for Contact
Requests, will now extend only three degrees. Everyone
in an Introduction chain will know either the original
sender or the final recipient, establishing a truly
trusted link.

Introducing InMail™: Opportunities Through the
LinkedIn Network

InMail, a new service available exclusively through
LinkedIn, allows you to receive business opportunities
from other LinkedIn users directly onto your homepage
without sacrificing privacy. You decide whether to
receive InMail; you get to rate every InMail you
receive to help ensure quality; and you choose when to
share your contact information.

Business Accounts: Advanced Tools for Business Users

Beginning today, you can upgrade to a Business
account, a premium service for LinkedIn users.
Business account holders will be able to request more
Introductions, send InMails, see more complete search
results, and receive premium customer service. Learn
more and upgrade now.

As always, our goal is to help you get connected to
the right professionals and the right new business
opportunities. Send your comments to me at
ceofeedback@linkedin.com.

I wish you every success,

Reid Hoffman
CEO, LinkedIn

Thanks!

[LinkedinBlogger] Landed.FM: Linkedin Listens - Adds Important New Enhancements

Linkedin Listens - Adds Important New Enhancements

New premium service will provide far more powerful
tools.

On Monday, August 8th, Linkedin, the business
networking powerhouse, will announce a major
enhancement  — broadening the scope of Linkedin's
functionality. Tune-in to Landed.fm this Monday for an
exclusive in-depth interview with Konstantin Guericke,
VP Marketing and Co-Founder at Linkedin.

"LinkedIn demonstrates that the business world is a
much smaller place than people commonly think, and I
hope people will learn from this that it's best to
behave as if you live in a small town where you can't
hide things and your actions determine your
reputation." - Konstantin Guericke

Can't wait to hear the powerhouse news!

[LinkedinBlogger] How will you use your 5 Linkedin requests this week?

With your Linkedin Beta Subscription, you can have up
to 5 requests en route, concurrently.  

Assuming that you have all yours, how will you use
your 5 requests this week?

What would your ideal outcome be from those 5 requests
for the end this coming week?

By way of illustration: I'm planning to use my 5
requests to help one good client and one good friend -
both of whom are seeking senior level IT positions in
the New York Metropolitan area. (Senior Project
Manager and CIO/CTO/VP/Director, respectively.)

The ideal I'm seeking by end of day this coming Friday
is to have each of these gentlemen have at least a
phone screen scheduled for an appropriate fit.  If I
can pull that off by end of day Friday, then I'm
sleeping in all day Saturday! :-) (Well, at least I'll
sleep in late! :-)))

Assuming that you're on Linkedin with a specific
business purpose in mind, what will you do with your 5
requests to feel that you can "exhale" and enjoy the
weekend? 

What outcome will help you to feel that you've had a
good Linkedin week?
