Screencasts of the Week - Are you LinkedIn?
Posted on Sunday July 22, 2007 by Betsy Weber
I love LinkedIn! What is LinkedIn, you ask? It's a networking site for business professionals. You sign-up (it's free), set up your profile, including your education and job history, and start linking to people you know. It's a great way to keep up with friends and colleagues. You can see who gets a promotion, changes companies or I enjoy seeing what jobs and companies people have worked at in their past. One of the most interesting parts of LinkedIn for me is to see how my friends are connected - it's amazing to see people you thought had no connection to each other are already connected somehow.
So, this week's Screencasts of the Week are all about…you guessed it! LinkedIn!
The first screencast comes from Scott Skibell. He sent me a link to his tutorial about LinkedIn where he used his Camtasia Studio video with another authoring tool. I like Scott's tutorial because it's a great example of how you can use your Camtasia Studio content in a variety of applications or sites since it creates industry standard file formats ranging from AVI, WMV, MOV, SWF and FLV and more...
Click the screenshot below to see Scott's LinkedIn Tour. Or visit here to read his blog post about the presentation. You'll see the part where he uses Camtasia under the section called "Tour of LinkedIn"
Also, Demo Girl also has a great screencast about LinkedIn. She made a 5 minute overview of how to get set up on LinkedIn. Click the screenshot below to watch Demo Girl's screencast.
Plus, I love that LinkedIn has a great evangelist, Mario Sundar, who I hope to meet someday! He's one of my heroes!
You can see my LinkedIn profile here. Maybe you'll learn something new about me or your other connections.
Any nominations for next week's Screencast of the Week?
