I’ve found LinkedIn to have the most remarkable technology I’ve seen in a long time.
By examining the relationships among my contacts and among my contacts’ contacts, LinkedIn can suggest people I may, or should, know. It is breathtaking just how accurate it’s predictive abilities are and how often.

This fascination with LinkedIn has made me take a very close look at the service, and, as I am wont to do, examine it as a marketing vehicle.
No, not as a way to spam but as a way to build business relationships. Or just relationships.
I have, as a result, created a presentation about how to use LinkedIn strategically for marketing purposes:
The e-Strategy Academy covers all aspects of digital marketing including search optimization & marketing, email marketing, social media marketing, video marketing, mobile marketing & public relations.
