I had a chance to speak with Michelle Davidson, editor of RainToday.com a little over a week ago for a podcast on what's new with social media for professionals.
Check it out: Social Media is Not a Strategy; It's a Channel
In the discussion, I shared my issues with LinkedIn's usability, my beliefs about whether blogging is still important compared to 5-10 years ago, and why cross-posting sucks.
It's an easy listen... and please laugh with me at my Rick Perry moment.
The podcast is 19 min and is getting lots of good feedback. Even won RainToday's 10/3 Readers' Choice Award!
Ironically, I discussed how LI would be so much better with a notifications feature, and almost on queue, a couple days later, they pushed one out. Ask and ye shall receive.
Have you checked out LI's notification feature yet? What do you think of the functionality? Will it make LI more social for you?

What was the prize? I hope something better than a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat.
Was a great podcast and deserved the win.

Thank, Joel! You didn't even comment that I made you even more famous by featuring your smiling mug on my LI screenshot! Joel Ungar = Mr. LinkedIn. :)
Ya know, I haven't been notified about a prize, but they did put that awesome "winner" gif on my podcast page. So there's that!
