Ah, that time of year when summer is wrapping up, ASAE Annual is less than a week away and you’re crazed trying to get your work done AND prep for the conference while also stressing about leaving your new puppy for FIVE nights…not to mention the whole clear plastic bag instead of a purse thing.

LinkedIn Groups: still there, but barely
*updated with additional links at end of post* It’s been a few months since I’ve sounded my regular alarm that LinkedIn Groups’ days are numbered based on the steady deprecation of the product’s functionality over the past few years…which doesn’t mean I’ve stopped thinking about this topic obsessively 🙂 So, where are we with LinkedIn’s […]
LinkedIn Groups: What you Need to Know Now
If you read this blog, you know I tend to be sort of a glass-half-empty kind of gal. I prefer to think of myself as a realist rather than a pessimist, but hey–someone has to be the downer, right? 🙂 But with regard to LinkedIn–specifically, LinkedIn groups–I’ve been chronicling them being stripped of features and […]
LinkedIn Shuts Moderator Group–Is the Same Coming for Groups?
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about LinkedIn Groups (or posted at all, really…) but leave it to the universe to cause me to have to break my dry spell on a holiday weekend Friday. So remember about six months ago when I wrote about why associations should be planning their LinkedIn group exit […]
Why Skipping LinkedIn is a Mistake for Association CEOs
So my husband subscribes to CEO Update, the most expensive old-school publication ever, which I find entertaining specifically for its old-schoolness. It arrives in all its black and white, mimeographed-looking glory each month, full of association news and association executive job postings. This month’s issue, though, was a bit of a head-scratcher for me, though, […]
LinkedIn Groups’ Job Tab: No Longer Optional
It’s been a few weeks since I posted about the then-upcoming changes to LinkedIn Groups that are likely to have a profound impact on associations who use LinkedIn as the platform for their member community. Since then, some of the changes have been rolled out: the promotions tab is gone from one of the groups I […]
10 Things Associations Need to Know About Upcoming Changes to LinkedIn Groups
Remember when we were talking about LinkedIn removing the groups feature? Ok, make that “remember when I was wildly speculating about LinkedIn removing the groups feature?” Well, while I wasn’t entirely right—groups aren’t being totally eliminated—apparently it wasn’t all wild speculation or paranoia on my part, as today when I logged into one of the […]
Why Associations Should Be Planning Their LinkedIn Exit Strategy
Ah, LinkedIn…where would my blogging be without your Groups feature? It’s been a few months since I’ve written about why associations shouldn’t rely on LinkedIn Groups and speculated about whether LinkedIn is in the (albeit slow) process of phasing out the groups feature, but a few recent things have ramped up my suspicions and made me think that […]
Reason One Billion Your Association Community Shouldn’t Live on LinkedIn
Despite all evidence to the contrary given my lack of posts over the past months, I’m still here. And yes, I’m still obsessed with the same issues, if maybe a tiny bit less since I just spent the last year working outside the association world. But it seems like no matter how hard I try […]
LinkedIn Drops Ability to Connect Via Groups
A few months ago I wrote that it would not surprise me at all if LinkedIn dropped the groups feature. Now it appears that they’ve dropped one of the big attractions of groups for many people: the ability to connect with people via groups you’re in together. As this post describes, a big plus of […]
