Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

The Web 2.0 innovation LinkedIn (www.lindedin.com) has gained huge popularity as a professional networking tool and is often considered the key to success for businesspeople and job seekers today. In fact, all Fortune 500 companies are already part of this service. Butow (CEO, Butow Communications Group) and Taylor (cofounder, TalentPlanet) show how to use LinkedIn strategically to communicate and to gain competitive advantage. The 12 chapters supply detailed and practical instructions for functions such as registration, profile creation, and the management of contacts, leads, and recommendations. In addition, members are offered guidance about proper business etiquette and for using LinkedIn to its full potential, especially with regard to recruitment, job seeking, and business intelligence. Unfortunately, the many screenshots contained in the text are too small and, therefore, virtually unreadable. Nevertheless, this informative text is well written; because of its value to business and human resources professionals and to individuals developing their careers, it is recommended for all academic and public collections.—Caroline Geck, MLS, MBA, Somerset, NJ

VERY basic stuff you might not need a book for ... October 20, 2008

By Kevin Quinley VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

Not bad, but very basic and filled with stuff you might have easily figured out on your own just by using LinkedIn. I was hoping there would be more content on how to really leverage LinkedIn to develop your business, harnessing it as a tool for getting customers, building a brand, etc. Those themes are very lightly touched on.

Heavy users of LinkedIn will likely find this pabulum.

I did, at least ... Your mileage may vary....

Title misleading February 7, 2009

By Marsha Egan

Format:Paperback

Book is a primer for how to NAVIGATE LinkedIn, not how to succeed in business with it. Very misleading. Not helpful to me at all.

Buy New Glasses Before Reading This Book October 15, 2008

By Rick A. Clemens

Format:Paperback

As a recent subscriber to LinkedIn, I wanted a tutorial book on how to use LinkedIn and how to use it for networking. Eric Butow knows how LinkedIn works and Kathleen Taylor knows about networking. The combination could have produced an excellent book. The problem I had with this book is for a tutorial, you want to read the text and then look at the screen shots to see what the author was talking about. The screen shots are sooooooo small that you can hardly read the text. This made it very difficult to read and I finally had to go online at LinkedIn to see what the author was refering to.

The context of the book is good, but the format is poor. I would skip this book and look for another. Very disappointed in this American Management Association publication.
