LinkedIn to Twitter – Not Exciting Yet

Today was a big day for me on LinkedIn. First, I noticed I have 500 connections, some sort of strange marker that I have now reset – next stop 1,000. Second, I noticed under Edit Profile, the first integration of Twitter, widely reported with scant details. Upon adding my Twitter account there was a quick Twitter connect approval and just like my Website, my Twitter account is now a link in my LinkedIn Profile. I had to make a choice, Do all Tweets update my Status on LinkedIn or only Tweets with the Tag #in attached. I choose to use #in because there is no way in the world I want all of my wine related posts and in general griping and promoting to hit LinkedIn every day. Generally, I advise people to be more selective in updating their status on LinkedIn. Every 2-4 weeks unless something special is happening or you are traveling frequently. It will be really exciting to see what this collaboration brings in the future, for now the most exciting feature is a Link in my Profile, whatever.
