Yet another way to use LinkedIn I never would have thought of:
Scott Allen is a social media pioneer, helping people turn virtual relationships into real business since 2002. He is coauthor of The Virtual Handshake and The Emergence of The Relationship Economy and contributor to over a dozen books on social media, business and personal development.
I just saw someone post in a LinkedIn group asking for a serial number for some Adobe software so he doesn’t have to pay for it. Also not something I would expect someone to ask about in a professional environment where you can see a real identity.
Assuming of course they provided a real identity. Still, not what I would expect. Insurance sales reps and headhunters, yes.
