Suggest using the linkedin edit function to create a non-gibberish url. may mean nothing. but takes a minute and indicates an attention to detail and easy to do business with orientation imho.

FLASH: Hoovers, yet another business info collector that lives off sec filings, seems to be making a move into LinkedIn’s space. I say “seems” because while it claims to be in ‘beta”, it doesn’t allow any sign ups. It also claims to be free, but I don’t believe it. They have a bottom line to feed.
Here’s a jpeg snapped at their site.
FWIW!

Create Public and Private Comments for LinkedIn Members
*** begin quote ***
LinkedIn provides no way to record public and private info about your fellow members. Who did you use to send your last Introduction through? Is that member active? Is that person a good or bad networker. Where have all the sock orphans gone? Nobody knows. Because on LinkedIn nobody can hear you scream. So I created a solution using Diigo at http://diigo.com. It’s an imperfect solution but gets the job done. I’ll use this page to record my latest instructions, tips, and findings.

I’m trying it. Will report.

XXXXXX : I accepted, but I’d suggest that you never just use the stock invite. The problem is that, if your contact has brain freeze and says “don’t know”, then you could accumulate the “five strikes and you’re dead” LinkedIn suspension. You may, or may not, get it lifted. But it will certainly be a giant hassle, So I suggest ALWAYS put in a non-standard invite. Hope this helps, fjohn68

Your “drafts” capability got me to thinking, (an always dangerous problem). Since one, I think, always wants to present fresh content to browsers. Perhaps you could make it “easier” to put stuff up on a regular interval. Think of it as a virtual clerk. You could have a category of draft called QUEUED. The parameters might be “over some period of time” (X days, weeks, months) release a QUEUED entry at regular intervals (Every X hours). It could be done manual by setting the time stamps, but that requires the user to do the thinking about it. That seems best left to the software. IMHO, fjohn

FROM MLBLOGGERS FORUM
>I have a feedreader installed on my machine, subscribed to
>my feed as an emergency backup that I control
I guess I am more anal, and afraid of losing my “pearls”; I have three different gmail email accounts set up to receive my feed. (Yeah, I know belt’n’suspenders! But hey, it’s free.) Feedblitz, Feedburner, and RSSFWD. I pop3 those accounts back into my OutLook client and stuff them in their own folder. Blitz and Burner give me a daily summary. And, those daily emails have alerted me in the past to problems; 2 with Burner and 3 with Feedblitz. So not only is it a backup, but it’s a check on what my subscribers are seeing. Both of them. (Just kidding; there’s more than two. Not much more, but who cares I write for my own entertainment.) RSSFWD (i.e., one email per post) seems to come in gobs on no apparent schedule. It’s a backup though. So thus, I have three separate backup spots for my primary blog’s postings. I did this because in my early blogging days, wordpressdotcom burped and I lost some of my finest work. (It had to have been my finest ’cause in my memory it was “fine”. And, it ain’t around to be proven “lame”. I also on a monthly basis do an XML dump from wordpressdotcom. After all it is my finest whines. Hate to admit it but I use BLOGDESK as desktop client to post to wordpressdotcom, so there’s a copy of all my posts is in that as well. My 2006 whinings are available in book form from Lulu. (Hey, it was a personal joke! But made handy gifts to all my relatives and friends. My Mommy loved hers.)
Nope can’t never have tooo many backups,
Now let me print this email, put it in my blog, send it to my three friends, and make a web page out of it.

A BLOGDESK competitor, one has to at least consider the offering from the Evil Empire. Clearly in my mind, it starts off with one big strike against it. It integrates with IE7 and not firefox. Strike Two. Now let’s see if it posts to WORDPRESSDOTCOM?
# # #
OK so it did stick a post in the blog. Two strikes and looking for a third. :-)

In light of my prestigious postition in the field of blogging about technology, … … ok I asked when they said “any fools out there will to test our stuff for no money … I’ve got one of the “rare” spock accounts. (I have invites. What’s it worth to you?)
It’s pretty neat a service. I found some Jaspers I didn’t know about.

Against You: A Manifesto in Favor of Audience
By Andrew Keen
*** begin quote ***
If a tree falls in the forest, and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? Andrew Keen asserts that the same riddle can be applied to Web 2.0. While new Internet technology has revolutionized traditional media and allows everyone to be writer/creator, if everyone is writer/creator, then just who is left to listen to the cacophony?
*** end quote ***
Doesn’t matter if there is an audience. It’s one song. (a universe) The noise is the song!
