Episode 97. 5 Things You May Have Missed In The New App

Welcome to a new episode of LinkedInformed, here are the main topics covered this week.

 

News

 

• New feature coming - videos are starting to autoplay (without sound) in the homepage feed. This is not something I have seen first hand but John Nemo covered it in a recent post
• This guy wrote to all 1,109 of his LinkedIn connections last year.
• Are LinkedIn falsely reporting their page view numbers? Itai Leshem thinks he knows how they are doing it.
• The new social network called beBee (awful name!) that practices ‘affinity networking’ as detailed in this post from the excellent John White.

 

Episode 100

 

I really want to do something different for our 100th episode, I am still open to suggestions but one I had recently was that someone (maybe a listener) could interview me! Any volunteers or suggestions as to who would be a good candidate.

Let me know at [e-mail]

 

Commentary

 

The 5 things you may have missed on the new app.

I have written a more detailed published post <Rehj, ask me for this link, not done yet> about this but as a summary, the 5 things are as follows;

 

• Individual Message Notifications.
• Advanced Search
• Desktop Search History Visible
• Invitation To Connect Replies
• See How Many Connections You Have

 

Questions

 

1. How do I find my sent invitations so that I can withdraw some of them?

Go to the area where you view your invitations (see all) and then click on ‘Manage invitations’
