Linked in was, without a doubt, the most effective ad buy I did for a global series of conferences last year. It outperformed more traditional banner buys (targeted trade sites) roughly 3 to 1. The Linked In team has some pretty strong ad targeting based on roles and industries...it was a clear winner that keeps you away from Doug Karr's "Linked In Answer Spam" cross hairs.

I will soon begin traveling a lot for an organization I head called Bakers without Borders and I have used LinkedIn to meet up with other business owners in the areas I will be visiting. I have found it to be a great way to network and brain storm with others in my field. Anyone that would like to connect with me through LinkedIn I would be happy to network with you. For those of you who are interested there is also a great book called 'I'm on LinkedIn Now What?" by Jason Alba

Linked In now open for developers: Access LinkedIn Data From Other Locations Using The LinkedIn Platform
Starting today, developers worldwide can integrate LinkedIn into their business applications and Web sites. They’ve announced that OAuth os now available at Developer.linkedin.com. Like Facebook Connect, this means that any website or any web application can allow users to login from their LinkedIn account on a third party site, and even publish information back to their LinkedIn profile and network from that third party site.

Thanks for starting this group. I would like to hear from LinkedIn users who have found success using the product. A few meetings that I have attended with Kyle Lacy, Harvey Mover and Arnie Goldberg have proved to be very beneficial.

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. "Blatant self-promotion" is discouraged on SI, and "spam" is not welcome. Please be considerate of your fellow members.

Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
