Linkedinformed Podcast. The Linkedin Show

We know that LinkedIn are especially interested in supporting helpful 'knowledge transfer' type posts, so we all need to get on the 'knowledge transfer bus' if we want to increase our visibility...but are we teaching or preaching? That plus 5 new features and an excellent video post of the week.

"This is probably the worst move LinkedIn have made in the 15 years I've been closely following them!"
