LinkedIn gets cute with a winter solstice themed profile "connection"
If you are a regular user of LinkedIn you have no doubt seen the little box to the right which shows you how many people have viewed your profile in the last 15 days. The box also invites you to click on it and see who. This, of course, is a clever way to entice you into purchasing an upgrade package, which then allows you to see everyone who has tapped your profile -( the 'free' version provides a handy graph and a list of five or six people. Often this is masked as 'Someone who hires people like you for big, we mean BIG salaries. Upgrade NOW or lose out in being Rich beyond your wildest dreams!"
Well, every so often, LinkedIn gets cute in this game. Today I was told that Snow E. Mann - an independent Snow removal management expert - viewed my profile. Clicking the link brought up a very nice holiday greeting.
Still think LinkedIn is just a stuffy resume site?
