I think you can tell from the title why the marketing team at LinkedIn keeps a close eye on me. 🙂
This week has been extremely busy… a lot of press attention already to the LinkedIn partnership with Google on the new Open Social APIs.
Since this is my personal blog, I thought I’d just flag a few articles and posts around the web in case you are interested. The big demo is tomorrow night, and it looks like I will actually get a chance to take the stage with Elliot Shmukler to give it. Let’s hope the demo gods are kind.
It’s really wonderful to be able to talk to our community about Open Social, and about the LinkedIn platform. There are absolutely amazing people at LinkedIn working on making all of this possible, and it’s a joy to get out there and help people understand and appreciate their great work.
So, before the big event, here are a few interesting posts:
- LinkedIn Blog: LinkedIn & Open Social
- Marc Andreessen: Open Social: A New Universe of Social Applications All Over the Web
- Wired: Salesforce & LinkedIn: Open Social Means Better Business-Centric Apps & Services (featuring the largest image of me imaginable)
More to come on this topic, I’m sure.

What makes you think the marketing team keeps a close eye on you? Heh. Good job with all the interviews. You’re a rockastar.
Well done– read about this in the Merc this morning. In just 24 hours you took the wind out of Facebook’s sails. I wonder what would have happened to the Facebook valuation had this news broke a couple weeks ago?
I’m so happy to seek LinkedIn adopting an open standard. I look forward to hearing more details about how privacy will be protected but have a feeling it will make sense.
