it is true that since november 2009, linkedin has shifted to (depending on who you read) nofollow or less-than-optinmal links from profile pages. at the very least, however, customizing the links in your profile will increase referral traffic by improviong conversion. thanks for the comment!

dunno about your wordpress issues. no problems here on self-hosted - were you on wordpress.com?

thanks Andy! I saw the linkedin feature and wrote a quick post about it (http://btrandolph.com/2010/11/improved-rapportive-links-linkedin/)" target="_blank"> (http://btrandolph.com/2010/11/improved-rapportive-links-linkedin/). I think that integrating the most professionally oriented social media channel more closely will help attract many more mainstream users to rapportive.

thanks for checking out my blog. yeah, the extra linkedin functionality is awesome - and to my mind bridges the gap between social media addicts and more mainstream business users.

thanks for stopping by. as I noted in the post, I think gist's dashboard product is a beautiful thing. my preference for the rapportive plugin is just personal preference - I think the gist plugin works well too, and the ui is nice. my elephant in the room postscript is based on the fact that if you are not aware of services like gist and rapportive, it doesn't matter how good the user controls are. and the people least aware of social crm are the same ones who leave their facebook controls set on the default. however, they are probably not reading my blog either! : )

yeah, this post is pretty out of date. I will try to get an updated version up soon!

Thanks for your comment. Looks like Squirrel is a Mac/iPhone only personal finance application. Since I'm an Android type, I prfer Mint, which is cross platform. Thanks for stopping by!
