Dan, Good points. I honestly didn't get past the promotion and the link. Doug

Douglas Karr replied to Mike Seidle's discussion 'More Indiana Followers On LinkedIn' in the group LinkedIn Best Practices
Honestly, you didn't offend me. This discussion was brought to my attention with the note, "Why is Mike promoting Linking Indiana" on "Smaller Indiana"? Smaller Indiana is for the benefit of all of its members - but we're very careful to not allo...

So this exact line is not promoting? "f you want more Indiana connections on LinkedIN, I maintain a (free) list of Hoosier open networkers (people that will connect with you if you ask) over at Linking Indiana." Really? Really?

Hmm. Maybe it would help if it was a button instead of a text link :).

Mike, Spam isn't in the words, it's in the actions. It's unsolicited promotion... period. That's what you did here. Whether a site is on Ning or "Vincent Wright's" crap doesn't mean it's not competing, either. The platform doesn't have anything t...

Mike, What's the irony of me mentioning LinkedIn Answer Spam and you taking the opportunity in this forum on Smaller Indiana to spam us with your network? Sorry - just seems a bit slimy to be promoting Linking Indiana on Smaller Indiana. Pat and...

I agree that it can be annoying, and clutters the space with many times pointless noise. But, it seems that with any social media platform, it starts to imitate life in that many people, in business or life for that matter, are inward focused and ...

Doing Business with Horizon Property Group

Local Indy Real Estate Agent in Forbes

If you haven't seen it already, Paula Henry who runs one of the most popular real estate blogs in Indy got the spotlight on Forbes! Paula made the news when she argued with MIBOR on whether or not Real Estate Agents could each others' listings and get them indexed by Search Engines.

Why I watch Fox News (and don't apologize for it)

So the Whitehouse wants to battle Fox News (again).

I'm not a Republican. I'm even liberal in some of my views of how government can help people.

An Open Letter to Indiana about Life Sciences

There's no doubt how important Roche and Eli Lilly are to our economy here in central Indiana. As well, I'm forever appreciative of the work these folks do and the impact it will have on the human race. I have friends at both companies and have helped them with their technology and social media strategies. I'm looking forward to seeing how technology will transform their industries.

That said, my next remarks are not meant to anger the industry... rather to promote a different one. Indiana - pl… Continue

Hello Douglas,
I joined Smaller Indiana when I got laid off this winter and started networking.
I have since received my real estate license and are also selling auto's for toyota. This site has helped a great deal.
If there is anything I can help you with, please do not hesitate to ask.
See at the next event.

Hi Doug,

I briefly spoke with Pat last week about the new instant message widget that you integrated into the SI site. Is the widget itself something that was created specifically for the ning sites or is it free for all sites to use? I know Meebo just launched a new IM feature as a service, but would really like to integrate the feature into my non-ning site for free. Is there a way to do this?

Any help is very appreciated.

Thanks,

Arik Flanders

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. 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.
