Linkedin introduce i tags per i contatti

Ho scoperto oggi di essere uno degli utenti di test di una nuova funzionalità di Linkedin per la gestione dei contatti. La maschera di My Connections ha ora infatti la nuova opzione Tags, che consente di organizzare i propri contatti secondo delle etichette (tags).

Come si vede dalla schermata precedente, Linkedin ha suddiviso automaticamente i miei contatti secondo alcune etichette predefinite, Tag  “colleagues”, “Friends”, “Partner”, Group members”, etc e permette anche di creare e gestire i propri tag.

Devo dire che il sistema ha fatto un po’ di confusione nella classificazione automatica dei miei contatti ma ritengo comunque la funzionalità di tagging molto utile per la gestione delle connessioni in Linkedin.

What type of LinkedIn user are you?

According to Anderson Analytics, there are 4 type of Linkedin Users:

• “Savvy Networkers” (est. 9 million) are likely to have started using social networking earlier than others, are more tech savvy, and more likely to be active on other SNS sites like Facebook.  Savvy Networkers have the most connections (61 on average) and are more likely than other segments to use LinkedIn for a wide variety of purposes other than job searching. Savvy Networkers have the second highest average personal income ($93,500) and may often have the word “Consultant” in their job description.
• “Senior Executives” (est. 8.4 million) are somewhat less tech savvy and is using LinkedIn to connect to their existing corporate networks. They have power jobs which they are quite content with, and are likely to have been invited by a colleague and then realized how many key contacts were on the site and started building connections (32 on average).  Senior Executives have the highest average personal income ($104,000) and have titles such as Owner, Partner, Executive, or Associate.
• “Late Adopters” (est. 6.6 million) are likely to have received numerous requests from friends and co-workers before deciding to join. They are somewhat less tech savvy and are careful in how they use LinkedIn, tending to connect only to close friends and colleagues and have the fewest number of connections (23 on average).  Late Adopters have the lowest average personal income ($88,000) and have titles such as Teacher, Medical Professional, Lawyer, or the word “Account” or “Assistant” in their job description.
• “Exploring Options” (est. 6.1 million) may be working, but are open and looking for other job options often on CareerBuilder.com, perhaps in part because they have the lowest average personal income ($87,500). They are fairly tech savvy and use SNS for both corporate and personal interests.
