Note: You may not have noticed, but LinkedIn is changing the way you do things.
The “good stuff,” as I like to call it, is getting harder to find, but I will show you where to look in the next few blog posts.
Right next to the “send a message” bar on any connection’s personal profile page, you will see an adjacent button with a downward pointing arrow.

I really don’t feel there is a lot to gain from this unless you want to know out of curiosity how you can get the inside scoop on this person. It’s a bit creepy IMHO.

- I thinks there is better information on their profile per se, so take the extra couple of minutes and review them there. Read what they have to say.
- Don’t be a stalker.
More about these functions next week.
