LinkedIn: Company Post Updates

Posted on February 26, 2013 by

There was a question on yesterday’s course regarding LinkedIn Company page updates. The question was whether it was possible to post a status update on a company page and have that appear to your LinkedIn followers. Well, it looks like the answer is probably no. These updates only appear to those who subscribe to your company page. I suppose this is logical as LinkedIn want to separate out personal from company.

TIP: Teach people who follow you on LinkedInn about your Company Page and the need to subscribe. Yu can do this by sending out messages to this group and possibly creating links from your ‘personal’ updates to the company updates. Once you have built up a strong presence here, you can then target messages to the ‘groups’ that make up your audience on LinkedIn company pages: marketing managers, pharmaceutical companies, etc.

Here are a couple of videos on status updates:

Path

Posted on July 3, 2012 by

I did mention to a few of you on the last course that I had started using an application called Path. In their own words Path is:

Path is the smart journal that helps you share life with the ones you love — your thoughts, the music you’re listening to, where you are, who you’re with, when you wake and when you sleep, and beautiful high quality photos and videos. And for those of you who like to share on public networks like Twitter, Foursquare, Tumblr, and Facebook, you can easily check-in, upload photos and videos, blog, and tweet directly from Path.

The idea behind Path is that you share a moment. Those ‘moments’ can consist of:

 

  • Photo/Video
  • People
  • Place
  • Music
  • Thought
  • Sleep/Awake

One of the core elements of Path is that it is designed for only 150 people, tops. Path are inspired by Oxford professor Robin Dunbar who identified:

We tend to have 5 best friends, 15 good friends, 50 close friends and family, and 150 total friends
