LinkedIn etiquette

Interesting article about using LinkedIn and other networking tools.

I particularly approve of:

• writing personalised messages rather than using the provided templates
• abiding by the "rules" and not enclosing your own email address

The latter arises because you can circumvent LinkedIn's own paid-for feature if you include your own email address in your details. I do actually mention my own web-site (not this one) in LinkedIn and you could find my email address from their. But I doubt many people would go there from LinkedIn - which is a pity as it has a nice display of my skills.
