Comments on: Want to Talk About LinkedIn? http://www.thinkinghomebusiness.com/2007/01/26/want-to-talk-about-linkedin/ Work from home | social media for home based business | Des Walsh | mentor coach Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:39:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anonymous http://www.thinkinghomebusiness.com/2007/01/26/want-to-talk-about-linkedin/comment-page-1/#comment-355 Anonymous Fri, 26 Jan 2007 12:13:14 +0000 http://www.thinkinghomebusiness.com/2007/01/26/want-to-talk-about-linkedin/#comment-355 I have to admit that Linkedin's question and answer service is on my list of "getting around to". I have noticed some discussion about apparent spamming of the service - floating a "question" just to promote yourself or your service. The impression I have is that that sort of thing goes with the territory but no doubt it will be a challenge for LinkedIn. However, my colleague Bill Vick has used it to get some useful feedback on what our next co-authored book could most usefully address. And I was impressed with the extent and depth of response Frank Kanu got when he floated the question of how people would define leadership - a subject on which most of us have opinions, I am sure.

I have only asked two questions, one I sent to everyone in my network, the other I did not. The first has received a lot of comments, the other not. I thought that was interesting, might be the topic, or maybe its the connection with my colleagues. As the moderator for the linkedin blogging group, I thought you might have some extra perspective on this question.
