Tracy Coenen’s FRAUDFILES blog is this week’s Linkedin Bloggers Blog Boost target. I’ve read a number of the postings on her blog and have learned a lot in the process about “forensic accounting” that I did not know before.

Best Practices, Linkedin,

Every now and then it helps to be reminded of the basics: * Make the phone call. * Get the face to face meeting. * Thank the prospect. * Have your elevator speech ready. * Offer to help. * Keep in touch (Garrison Keillor's suggestion). * If you can't say anythng nice about somebody, don't say anything at all (My mom's suggestion).

Blogging, Linkedin, Management Tools

Recently fellow blogger Philippe Borremans, owner of Conversationblog, asked me to check out a program he had been using (Qumana, www.qumana.com) to manage his blog.

Linkedin Bloggers is a members-only sub-group of Linkedin members who have created the group to discuss issues related to blogging and professional networking. The group is growing. We've decided to try an experiement we call "blog boosting." We've randomly selected one of the group members' regularly updated blogs -- in this case Itzy Sabo's Email Overloaded -- and group members have agreed to write about and link to Itzy's blog today, March 1, 2006.

I'm a member of the Linkedin professional networking group. I've found it to be quite helpful in making connections with new friends and colleagues around the world. While most of the features of the network are available and visible on the web to members only, Linkedin recently added a feature whereby the internal Linkedin member profile can be displayed publicly on the web. Here's a public view of my own profile:
