buzz

LinkedIn has caught up with every other major social/business networking site and added profile photos. This is a good thing, especially if you have an icon, brand or memorable photo. It’s been one of the frustrating omissions on LinkedIn for a while. I’m linked to a number of people who I haven’t met often if at all, having a photo helps when we meet in the Real World â„¢.

I’m not terribly happy that I am “granting to LinkedIn Corporation a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use this information in the course of offering the LinkedIn service“. That’s from the LinkedIn User Agreement. It’s the irrevocable nature of the license I don’t like.

I was chatting to my friend Sim’ about blogs and stuff when I raised del.icio.us and he said

I looked at del.icio.us … yet another web system of questionable value was my analysis unless you can convince me it’s worth the effort ?

That’s when I realised I didn’t get delicious until I saw a couple of screencasts about it. Specifically Charlie at This is going to be BIG! produced a screencast for integrating del.icio.us into the Firefox browser and John Udell created del.icio.us: the screencast.
