The following is a reminder about the  MyLink Network Yahoo group mission,
policies, and resources.

MyLink Network is a discussion and support group for top users of the LinkedIn
business social network.  Discuss LinkedIn news, issues, use, suggestions, and
criticism in an open and friendly setting.  We accept all LinkedIn
denominations, including the libertines, the open networkers, the strong
networkers, and new and learning users.

The Group is intended for a professional discussion about LinkedIn and online
networking. It is not to be used for networking itself. Use LinkedIn and sites
like http://MyLinkNetwork.com and http://MyLinkGroups.com for that.

We recommend that all users register themselves at http://MyLinkNetwork.com .


GUIDELINES

We strive to make the group a positive, effective, and efficient experience for
all our members. Therefore messages from new members will be moderated. After
one or more acceptable posts we will change your status to unmoderated so your
posts will immediately show up.

... wait until after they lay off 10% of staff or 36 people, which was announced yesterday.  And this is just after raising another $22M in venture capital.  The layoff is reportedly due to investor pressure telling portfolio companies to dig in and cut costs to better weather  the recession.

Friends,

I've been working as Chief Marketing Officer for a Silicon Valley startup, WeMeUs, which is pioneering relationship management.  One of my goals is to help fellow LinkedIn networkers like YOU better integrate LinkedIn and its use in your everyday business.  I'm constantly looking at ways to leverage LinkedIn in our product line.  I need your support and help to make that happen.

We're focusing on independent consultants and small businesses that  generate most of their business through their network, including LinkedIn.  We are developing new services that will help generate demand through targeted email campaigns and periodic outreach, nurturing leads and key connections, educating contacts and automating repetitive marketing tasks. Our goal is to enable our users to easily strengthen their networks and increase their referral, repeat and new business.

If this sounds like you, please take our short survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=x54_2fViaNSfP8enSjX1E1bA_3d_3d

Thank you!
Marc

PS.  Contact me if you're interested in a more strategic relationship with the company as a business partner, business group manager, or investor.

Friends,

Reports that I was robbed, stranded in London, and needed money to return to the US are false.  Please do not co-operate.  Any such messages were not from me.  My Facebook account was hijacked.  This con is clearly well planned.  It was timed right before Xmas eve when I might be away (fortunately I’m not) and Facebook service would be on break.  A team of people are emailing and IMing from my account (and I’m sure many other compromised ones) and removing friends or posts that complained.  
 
The scam has been reported to Facebook.  I thank everyone for their sympathy, emails, and phone calls on this.  As an aside, I freely publish my email address and phone number, which you can get from LinkedIn, the DallasBlue web site, and emails like this.  I hope you would try to contact me before sending any money.

Best Wishes and Happy Holidays,
Marc

Dear ,

Last week, we released a new Connections List that includes several oft-requested features. You're one of the specially selected members who has access to this beta feature, and we invite you to try it out:


Whats new?
  • Group your connections however you'd like by tagging them, we've even started you off with a few basic tags.
  • One click messaging, select a group and start writing.
  • Type-ahead Search: Jump right to the connection you're looking for by typing a couple letters of their name.
Your Feedback

We need your feedback so we've made it very simple. You'll notice a "feedback" link on the bottom of the connections page.

Regards,
The LinkedIn Connections Team

looks like LinkedIn has removed any Boolean functionality in its search engine.
Do any of you have a "work around" on this one? It is very annoying not to be
able to search on more than single words. I'm not the most computer-savvy guy on

Lynn,

I don't see a problem on my simple test for People Search keywords. It worked for both multiple keywords (implicit AND) and exclusion (prefacing a keyword with a minus sign).  A partial fallback position is to use Google with "site:linkedin.com" to restrict searches to LI.

    Wall Street Journal Creating New “LinkedIn Killer” Called WSJ Connect

    Posted: 30 Jul 2009 06:13 PM PDT

    The Wall Street Journal has long envied the success of professional social network LinkedIn and its 15 million or so monthly visitors (WSJ.com has just a third of that). In late 2008 they launched WSJ Community, a social network bolted onto the main WSJ site. That community is a ghost town - raise your hand if you’ve even heard of it, let alone visited it. At some point, they’ll likely shut it down as quietly as possible.

    But they are still serious about gunning for the LinkedIn crowd and all those monetization opportunities (jobs, ads and a heck of a marketing pool for WSJ subscriptions). They’ve been working on a new social network, to be called WSJ Connect, we’ve confirmed. And instead of building it internally, like they did with WSJ Community, they’ve enlisted the help of another arm of parent company News Corp. - Slingshot Labs. And yes, they call it “LinkedIn Killer” internally.

    Slingshot Labs is the R&D arm of News Corp. and works on digital products. Their first product was Daily Fill, which launched earlier this year. They also built the MySpace Events product that we covered in March. They operate fairly independently, have their own funding and 40-50 staff, according to one person familiar with their operations.

    WSJ Connect is still in the planning/conceptual stages, says one source, but there is “strong interest” to move the project forward. Importantly, it would leverage the WSJ brand but would be a separate property and unencumbered by the need for a paid subscription to the newspaper.

    Conceptual screenshots of the product are apparently floating around Slingshot, the WSJ and MySpace. We’re trying to track them down.

    Absolutely no one responded to our requests for comment. Luckily, lots of ex-MySpace employees are happy to talk.

    Boy Scouts send 600 tons of popcorn to our US Military in 2008.
    Help them reach their goal of 700 tons for 2009 by making a small donation today!

    Soldier Eating Popcorn

    Through a partnership with Trails-End, the Boy Scouts sent over 600 tons of popcorn treats to all of our military installations around the world last year.

    Something as simple as receiving popcorn shows our troops we're supporting them, boosts their morale, and sends them a little piece of home.

    "Hi, I am a Soldier in Iraq. We Love Your Popcorn!!!!  We Need Your Popcorn!!!!  Every now and then we get care packages with Trail's End Popcorn.  We love the Sweet taste of the Kettle Popcorn.  The problem is we only had a couple of packs and it is gone.  Now we are all craving it.  Can you help us out?" ~~ SFC Benjamin ------

    By going to http://tinyurl.com/uspopcorn to make your donation you are also helping the Boy Scouts who get a percentage of the purchase. Simply choose Military donation when you land on the website and enter the number 3037907 if prompted on who you support.

    So whether you want to support our troops, support the Boy Scouts, or just would like to have a great way to make a tax deductible donation before year end, please go to the URL above and send some popcorn to our US Military.

    Dear Carol Deckert
     
    I am not sure what e-mails it is you refer to. However, I seem to have received 82 messages from someone associated with the same yahoo group. 
    The address I got seemed to be jteeter@.... I have no idea what that is to be honest.

    To Carol, Jonas, and others who wrote,
    
    That was an automated response from an email service.  Clearly the group member,
    Jim Teeter, did not set up or intend such a flurry of responses.  Indeed your
    sending a message to the group will only RESULT IN ANOTHER 40+ responses!
    
    > I deleted other messages on this in the queue so it doesn't trigger that
    responses again,
    > I deleted Jim's address.
    > I let Jim know what happened.
    
    Cheers,
    Marc

    SuperNews had a cute hit when they attacked the Twittersphere:

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN2HAroA12w

    Now they take on LinkedIn job networking with Linked In ... to what:

        http://current.com/items/91503521_linked-in-to-what.htm

    I think it falls way short of being entertaining or accurate.  There are plenty of LinkedIn aspects they could have more successfully poked fun at!
