The 10 Words You Should Never Use In Your LinkedIn Profile | Fast Company | Business + Innovation

The 10 Words You Should Never Use In Your LinkedIn Profile | Fast Company | Business + Innovation:

SURE, YOU MAY BE MOTIVATED, PASSIONATE, AND CREATIVE, BUT THESE BUZZWORDS JUST MAKE YOU SOUND LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

When you’re describing your experience and applying for a job do you let potential employers know that you’re motivated? Nice word—but everyone else uses it, too. "Motivated," in fact, is the most overused buzzword on LinkedIn profiles, followed up by "passionate" and "creative."
Why are so many of us motivated, passionate and creative? These words are easy, says Catherine Fisher, senior director of corporate communications for LinkedIn. "People are looking to describe who they are, and they probably understand that hiring managers would want to look for a motivated, creative and passionate individual," she says. "I would stay away from these buzzwords, though, because you sound like everyone else. These words almost lose their meaning the more that people use them."


But don’t go running for the thesaurus: Writing a compelling LinkedIn profile isn’t a lesson in synonyms (like "inspired," "excited" or even "actuated"). Fisher says pictures speak louder than adjective-laden summaries.
"Instead of saying you’re motivated, show proof," she says. "Upload samples of your work and say, ‘These are campaigns I worked on that I’m excited about.’ That translates into being motivated more than simply using the word."

Joe Trippi.com: Addicted to Twitter

Too funny...
Mr. Trippi writes: "Are you addicted to Twitter? I got a laugh from this piece over at Salon:"
Last Thursday morning, I sat down at my computer with my cup of sludgy coffee,
just like any other day. I checked my e-mail and glanced at the New York Times
Web site. But when I opened up Twitter, expecting the usual hodgepodge of
scattered thoughts and hectic questions, I found there was nothing there.
Nothing at all.

It was the day of the Great Twitter Outage. But I
didn’t know that yet. I only knew that something was terribly
wrong.

Actually, it was funny, in a kind of pathetic, soul-crushing
way: I stared at the blank screen, hitting refresh over and over. Waiting for
everyone to come back. For my online life to resume. Finally, I accepted the
truth. Twitter, my favorite unreliable news source and constant companion, was
gone.

Facebook acquires social media giant "JamieKelly"

Facebook acquires JamieKelly

By Kevin Dayhoff, Kant BeTrue and New Bedford Herald news staff reports.

Facebook acquires “JamieKelly,” a new age, cutting edge social media networking empire founded by a mysterious mid-west social media guide

August 11, 2009, Cedar Rapids Iowa - - Earlier today, Facebook successfully acquired “JamieKelly,” a cutting edge social media networking site that is considered by to be a hot property among the much sought after 18 to 35 female demographic.

Jamie Kelly, also known as “JK,” a service based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is named after the charismatic – some say, messianic founder, by the same name, who is quoted to have said, that his service was first launched when he was a sophomore at Dickenson College, a nationally recognized and highly selective liberal arts college located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

When reached for further comment as the exciting news broke across the wire services, Kelly said, “I’m wearing a bow tie today was just a set up for my master plan. One day, I'm coming to work in a tux with tails, spats, and a walking stick.”

As he shuffled away to his office, he noted, “I just mailed out a bundle of letters. Next thing, I'll be hunting a saber-tooth tiger.”

Young women were reported to have gathered outside the world headquarters of JK at 500 3rd Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA, chanting “Jamie Kelly” and holding sounds which read, “We love U,” and “JK Rocks.”

Whatever.

This the latest in a series of tech wars, and mergers and acquisitions after the recently announced Microsoft-Yahoo search deal.

JamieKelly's 12-employee team will join Facebook family.

The four founders of JamieKelly – Emily Johnson, Boris Hartl, Carrie Ann Knauer and Jamie Schmidt Wagman, will take senior positions in Facebook's Engineering and Product teams.

Currently, the acquisition amount is undisclosed but JamieKelly looks happy with the acquisition and the joy was obvious in a recent interview with Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly, who have been good friends for many years.

JamieKelly was looked upon as close competitor of Twitter, microblogging service for the same task - sharing information online.

However, both services combined don't have enough users to match up Facebook's more than 250 million user base. Facebook couldn't buy Twitter, a service that has seen a tremendous growth since its inception, so, the next close substitute was JamieKelly.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, “I've admired their team for creating such a simple and elegant service for people to share information.”

As of now JamieKelly will work as it is and the founders are yet to lay out future plans for integration of both services.

Facebook's JamieKelly acquisition is buzzed as directly challenging Google and leapfrogs Twitter.

JamieKelly service went out cold until they had announced the second version of their API this month. So, now Facebook will make use of ex-Google's excellence in expanding Facebook platform to the next paradigm: Real-time search.

If Google and Twitter are listening to this, they better sit together at least for mutual partnership on Twitter's search technology.

Asked what’s next on the horizon for JamieKelly, Kelly, a former rap star from Pittsburgh, PA, said quixotically, “The music industry is proposing a new format for digital music…”

GIs Use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube Against Taliban

AP: GIs Use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube Against Taliban

Monday, June 01, 2009

KABUL — The U.S. military in Afghanistan is launching a Facebook page, a YouTube site and feeds on Twitter as part of a new communications effort to reach readers who get their information on the Internet rather than in newspapers, officials said Monday.

The effort, which officials described as a way to counter Taliban propaganda, represents a sea change in how the military can communicate its message.

"There's an entire audience segment that seeks its news from alternative means outside traditional news sources, and we want to make sure we're engaging them as well," said Col. Greg Julian, the top U.S. spokesman in Afghanistan.

What Career Service Office Advisors Should be Telling Law Students About Social Media [Part 1/2]

What Career Service Office Advisors Should be Telling Law Students About Social Media [Part 1/2]

Feb 5th, 2009 | By Josh Camson | Category: Facebook, Lead Article, LinkedIn, Twitter

If you're new here, and interested in using social media in the legal profession, you may want to subscribe to the RSS feed or follow me on Twitter @Rex7. Thank you for visiting SocialMediaLawStudent.com.

A friend of mine attends a top 20 law school. At the beginning of his first year this past fall, his Career Services Office (CSO) told the entire 1L class that if they wanted to be employable, they should remove themselves from social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. That way, potential employers will not come across any damning information about the student.

To me, and I’m guessing to anyone who reads this website, that advice sounds well-intentioned but bad. We are well into the 21st century. Law students and CSOs alike need to realize that the internet is a tremendous tool at every law student’s disposal. It is true that like any tool, if the operator is not careful, there can be dangerous accidents. However, law students should be utilizing the internet in their job search and networking efforts to show others that they are a more rounded individual, and a better applicant. Law students should no longer cower in fear, worried that a potential employer will see the drunk shenanigans they got up to last weekend. Instead, they should use the internet, and social networking in particular, as a tool to aid them in their efforts.

This pair of posts will look at the three largest social networking sites: Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn. I will show you how to keep (or start!) using these services while protecting the information intended only for your friends from getting into the hands of a potential employer.
