Getting LinkedIn at work

If you are on my LinkedIn contact list it's quite likely that in the next few weeks you will receive from me a request to get in touch with somebody you know.

Among the other channels which we are using to promote and sell our product, K-collector, I decided that we should try leveraging on the digital social networks that we have built in the last months. We are currently targeting medium-large corporations which, we think, could benefit faster and in a very measurable way from our tools.

Even if, of course, we are interested in sales, what we really want is the opportunity to start conversations with people who could become users of our products and have a deep knowlege of their environment and could provide very valuable feedback.

The google connection

Google for the desktop?.
NYT write-up of a local search tool codenamed “Puffin” that Google apparently plan to give away sometime soon.
The New York Times > Technology > Google Moves Toward Clash With Microsoft
Also from Google, some proposed principles “to help fight deceptive Internet software", and Aaron just got a full terabyte for his Gmail.
There’s a connection somewhere…
[Raw]

With one terabyte available and broadband becoming ubiquitous, soon we'll start upstreaming all our stuff (not only our email) to google's servers. You can only imagine how specific ads will get at that point.
