LinkedIn Has the Answers
I’ve been aware of LinkedIn Answers for a while but have not paid much attention to it.
Recently I decide that perhaps LinkedIn would be a time efficient means of finding graphic designers who are familiar with WordPress and could style a couple of sites for me. So I posted my quesition in the graphic design and web development categories…only to be bombarded with positive responses almost immediately!
What came out of the 10 minutes I took to ask a question was a slew of (claimingly) talented designers who would be willing to take a look at the projects and indicate if they could help!
The one thing I did realize is that either due to the way I ask questions and follow up later, or due to the nature of the people on LinkedIn, it is extremely difficult to pull a quote out of anyone there…which was the original reason for posting. It has also been difficult to get WordPress portfolios out of people. But at the end of the day there are quite a few candidates that look promising and I will follow up with them.
LinkedIn Answers is not just a place to recruit consultants but also a place to ask questions (and get answers) for free!
Do You Del.icio.us?
Social Networking has been all the rage for a while now and it has been proven to help with SEO.
I have been struggling with the most efficient ways to manage a multitude of information that I often want to share:
- pictures
- RSS Feeds
- Bookmarks
- General Online Resources
I currently use a directory of Internet Marketing Resources, a blog, Flickr and Netvibes.
The limitations that I find are that I am not part of a network on Del.icio.us and therefore am not sharing my bookmarks with others. Perhaps I should find a way to incorporate this into the DriveTraffic website? Does Del.icio.us make the Internet Marketing Resources redundant?
Is there a newsreader that would allow me to share my feeds with you in much the same way that Del.icio.us does?
How about commenting here and letting us know your opinion?
