When I get my e-mails from LinkedIn; because you visited the profile of xxx, read the post by yyy, there is no doubt they perfectly know what I do on their platform. #LinkedIn
@hehemrin Yet another reason not to have a LinkedIn.
@WillA763 Yes and no... at least they are open about it and I can easily be aware. For the work/job/business side of me, LinkedIn is the best meeting place. The only option would be Facebook, but I don't want to mix professional contacts with personal, beside that Fb is absolutely not better... Beside network itself, it is a place to post and read topics related to profession, as well as job market if ever change job. I do not know any better place. But stay aware of non-privacy!
@WillA763 Good idea! Yes, it was absolutely the standard. And the problem when chaning org/title, to edit the cards with a pen until new were ordered... I have not really been involved last years in external meetings so I haven't seen so much of the change. Earlier we also used them a lot internally.
@hehemrin I understand. It might sound crazy, but I went back to printing out business cards when I meet people. They actually appreciate the personal touch (what used to be standard is now considered something extra!).
