Last week, I blogged about the Facebook research thing (btw, PNAS has since published an “Expression of Concern” about the fact that they chose to publish the study). Since LinkedIn enabled publishing on their platform, I’ve been curious to see if it offers any value to users as opposed to just benefiting LinkedIn. While I […]

LinkedIn Cuts More Free Features
Are LinkedIn groups or company pages part of your organization’s social media strategy? If so, you should be aware that LinkedIn seems to be slowly but surely phasing out a lot of free features in what appears to be a move towards less free lunch/more monetization. Not surprising after their recently reported weak revenue outlook. […]
LinkedIn Products & Services Tab Disappearing April 14
My eyes are bleeding from all the posts about Facebook’s drop in organic reach (yes, I know, I, too, am guilty about having written about it). People seem shocked that Facebook would do something as crass and uncaring as charging people to reach their audiences, when we’ve been getting that lunch for free until now. […]

LinkedIn’s New Publishing Platform–What’s in it For Users?
Yesterday when I logged onto LinkedIn, I noticed that I’d been granted access to the new publishing feature. Of course I was curious so I reposted a post from this blog using their platform and clicked “publish” and waited for some kind of magic to happen. As I’m sure you can imagine, it didn’t. A […]
LinkedIn is Great…But Not as Your Community Platform
I know this topic has been discussed to death, particularly in the association community, but I just can’t help weighing in again after seeing it come up yet again in the ASAE LinkedIn group. The topic? Killing a private community in favor of using public social media platforms–in this particular case, LinkedIn groups. If you […]
Think You Have Control Over Your Company’s Linkedin Group? Think Again
Photo by somegeekintn on Flickr The fact that depending on free services to house your organization’s online community is a risky business is something I’ve blogged about before. Like when Facebook just decided to remove the Discussions feature from pages, so if discussions happened to be a valuable asset to either your org or your members, you […]
Neurodiversity in the Workplace Resources
So in my last post about the ADHD “tax” of self-employment, I included a pdf handout I’d created for a panel I was part of. I just tried to go share something from that handout myself and realized it’s a PITA to use–not to mention probably an accessibility nightmare–so I’m just going to put it […]
Navigating change is hard. Doing it while job hunting during a recession is even harder.
There’s a weird sense of comfort in knowing you’re not alone when you’re struggling with something. Granted, it’s a pretty cold comfort since you’re still left to grapple with your own stuff alone, but still…at least you know it’s not just you. Sorry…let me back it up and start over so what I’m trying to […]
Knowing when to fold ’em
I just want to say one thing off the bat: I am horrible at saying goodbye. So horrible, in fact, that I mostly just don’t do them–I ghost, I avoid, I say I’m not saying goodbye yet…then just let the clock tick down until the opportunity has passed. I write a note instead of showing […]
