LinkedIn Today – Your Linkedin Newspaper
via venturebeat.com
According to this coverage by Techcrunch, LinkedIn’s CEO recently announced a more proactive strategy – a wise move given that LinkedIn is notorious for being a virtual desert where little happens (hence the confusion when it is referred to it as a “social network”). Here is his list of features that will “transform” the LinkedIn landscape:
InMaps: A visual depiction of your network. Designed to tell you where you fit in, I guess.
Skills: Skills graph within professional communities. Who’s in demand. That kind of thing.
LinkedIn Today: Social news platform for professionals – the company’s newest product.
All 3 features are active now. Whether they have an affect is anyone’s guess.

Foursquare Adds Recommendations
Foursquare, the mobile application that allows you to check into locations around town like a lab-rat in a maze, can now tell you where to go as well. Now that’s a feature! Impress your friends by earning meaningless badges. Get drunk at your favorite watering hole and post compromising picturesRobert Scoble does it. Who are you to decide it’s a pointless waste of time?

Desperately Seeking Relevance …
I started using the Web the minute it graduated from monochromatic bulletin boards to HTML pages. Of course I was unemployed like 70% of my law school class, so I had time to experiment. Now I’ve got an office, family, demanding clients, and employees to oversee. You might say I’ve grown up a little. But has the Web grown up with me? Almost every website still wants to monopolize my time as if I had nothing better to do but chat, tweet, poke, or whatever. Sure, today’s distractions are Facebook and Twitter instead of Chatrooms and Message Boards, but it’s not that different is it? So when does “.com” turned “Web 2.0″ need to produce something relevant to my life instead of one more way to waste time? Or is the Internet in perpetual adolescence? As unlikely as it sounds, I was hopeful when I spotted this article on Techcrunch – a blog that I really respect (started by an attorney, BTW). But it turns out the piece is mostly about the oncoming wave of information in our future and how Web Apps might deliver the information in a slightly different form. In short, there is no reason to believe that the Web, or anyone making things for the Web, will deliver anything relevant to real life. So I guess I’m still desperately seeking relevance to come pouring out my browser. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon either.
