You can now add a photo to your LinkedIn profile.

To know more, A Photo is Worth a Thousand Words or have a look at your LinkedIn profile.

Let's say you just saw a job offer you are interested in, you are out of office/home, you are in a internet cafe or on vacation somewhere and don't have a copy of your CV with you. You need to send a copy of your CV, or handle it on paper and don't have the time to rebuild it from scratch?

Provided you have internet access, and a LinkedIn account, you can use your profile on LinkedIn to print a pdf curriculum vitae. Go to your profile page on LinkedIn and select the pdf button.

Flash revenge!

It's the revenge of Flash, and of all the silly humor you had on viewing your friends summer vacation slideshow. Well, this has interaction in it, like click and skip to next photo. Doh! (Just to be sure, I'm being sarcastic on this...)

Paper based curricula have often to deal with shrinking informations in a limited number of pages, the no more than 3 pages rule applies here; this is usually done by leaving out informations viewed as accessory or non relevant. Unless you are applying for a teaching role, or something where your learning history really counts, education is possibly the first thing you cut out.

It's great to live digital, pump up your education history and get noticed

Your online profile has no such lenght limitations. Consider the LinkedIn profile, there you are allowed to add as many education experiences as you'd like to. And this is a great chance to show off all of your education background. This is good for a lot of reasons: you can detail what you learned, highlighting a research you worked on, the tools you used, who your teachers were, where you studied, expand your network, get back in contact, etc.

There's a service on LinkedIn called Answers. Any LinkedIn user may post a question and get answers from other users; everybody's may give his own advice, suggest links or the name of a supposed expert on the topic proposed. What happens, as everywhere there's a free-not-moderated-everybody-get-in access (which is ok), is the signal-to-noise ratio is quite in favour of noise. For the very peculiarities of LinkedIn everybody's looking to stand out of the crowd, or to promote his own business. Which, again, is ok. As long as you have something intelligent, and honest, to say and you're really trying to give out a tip to somebody's that maybe really need some help.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION IS TOO EXPENSIVE for small office & home office’s websites. Any advices?

This is the question asked. A very interesting question, since it touches a common problem to lots of small/on a budget business in a global and more and more competitive digital business world. I don't know why, but SEO looks to me one of those fields where sharks are more common. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Label your LinkedIn contacts with their own inbox

A very simple tip to better organize invitations received from LinkedIn: provide a LinkedIn ad hoc email alias. If you have your own web domain create your alias in the form of linkedin@example.com (where example is obviously your domain name). Provide this email address in your LinkedIn profile, set up your email address in your email application of choice and/or create a rule to forward emails sent to the alias to a LinkedIn friendly named folder.

Social Networking is not so new nor so abstract

On The Economist (Volume 383, Number 8523) on sale April 7th there's a column on social networking, Joined-up thinking. The author quotes mr. Paul Jackson of Forrester Research Inc.: Social networking sounds great in theory; but the business benefits are still unproven. The article ends with the following comment: But if you know really does matter more than what you know, it has obvious potential. This last comment is from the column editor, not mr. Jackson.
