SwarmĪlthough LinkedIn’s official description of Swarm is “an eerily beautiful visualization of popular company search queries on LinkedIn,” I’ve seen popular title searches, most recent LinkedIn blog posts, most shared news, and recent jobs posted on LinkedIn. I’ve found NewIn to be great when delivering webinars or training sessions – it certainly provides some “wow factor” for anyone who hasn’t seen it, because it’s one thing to say that a new member joins LinkedIn every second, and another entirely to visualize it.
Here’s a screenhot that doesn’t do NewIn justice: If you want to see what that looks like, all you have to do is have Google Earth installed and click here. LinkedIn now boasts over 90M members worldwide, and people join LinkedIn at a rate of 1 per second. Unless, of course, you have a large network. That should have given folks a heads-up that something like InMaps was in development, and now anyone can visualize their professional network, “clustered in realtime based on their inter-relationships.” If you attended Talent Connect 2010, you had the chance to get your LinkedIn network graphed out on paper. LinkedIn – if you’re reading this – I’d like to see an “apply with your LinkedIn profile” feature in the near future, but something tells me you’re already working on it. As long as you completely fill out your LinkedIn profile as you would a resume, you don’t have to worry about saving your resume on your computer or on flash drives – your resume can live in the LinkedIn cloud. It’s as easy as picking a template, editing and arranging the information, and exporting and printing or sharing via email, LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter.Īt the time of this post, there were over 19,000 Resume Builder users, but as more people become aware of this feature, I think the number will increase rapidly. I’ve been waiting for this for a LONG time, and I wasn’t surprised to see LinkedIn create a resume builder that allows people to turn their LinkedIn profiles into Word and PDF resumes. I’ll start with LinkedIn Labs offerings and then cover Outlook, Jobs Insider, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google toolbars, LinkedIn mobile solutions, the Lotus Notes widget, sharing bookmarklets, emails signatures, the Mac search widget, and LinkedIn Ads. While you may be familiar with some of them, I can almost guarantee you aren’t familiar with ALL of them. LinkedIn has been cranking out new features and tools, and I realize that it’s too easy for me to assume that everyone else knows what I know, so I’m compiling all of the interesting offerings LinkedIn has released in 1 place for easy consumption. I tweeted the other day about LinkedIn’s Resume Builder and I got a number of surprising responses from people I would have assumed would already know that LinkedIn had a resume builder.
