LinkedIn puts a face with the name
Business networking and Social Media leader, LinkedIn added a long-awaited feature where you can add a photo to your LinkedIn profile. It offers the general browse/upload functionality, but one of the coolest features is the ability to resize and crop the photo before loading it into your profile. It also allows you to select who gets to see your photo. The choices are: Everyone, My Network, My Connections, or No one.
My question is: If you select “No one”, and it won’t be visible to anyone except for yourself, then why would you load a photo in the first place? I’m not sure what the thinking would be behind a setting like this. Over all, I love this feature.
The only challenge I had was taking a photo of myself that I could be happy with. Should I wear a suit and neck tie to look more like the President-elect of the AMA? Or maybe I should wear some Redsox swag to show my support for the home team? Well, in the end, I just went with whatever I was wearing at the time… a t-shirt and a hat with the owl from the tootsie-roll pop commercial on the front. Sometimes the best costume is the one that fits.
