Description:

Dear reader,As you probably noticed, I don't post new articles on my blog, www.clanglois.blogs.com.For the last two months, I have been working on another project, another blog, dedicated to help people better market themselves: www.visible-networking.com.It is still a beta version, I need to double-check the mistakes in my posts and I am still working on the videos... Weblogs have reached an all-time high: there are more than 50million blogs on the Internet, with the blogging community expanding by around 65,000 a day.If you fancy having your own blog, have a look at www.typepad.com!Technorati tags: Blog, Blogging, Internet, Typepad My friend Guillaume (I recommend to visit his blog on the hospitality industry) made me aware of that networking site.Whereas sites like Linkedin or openBC are generalists, wiwih is vertical and specialized in the Hospitality industry.General vs SpecializedIt leads to the very same topic of general vs specialized. What do you think?Usually, the business models of social business Networking websites are focused on the number of registered members: volume of contacts/members is very important.In that case, Hsyndicate is specialized in the Hospitality industry.I plan to register and test the interface soon. Another interesting facts from the UK: last week the results of a survey showed that it takes an average of 20mn for men to ask for their direction. And this week, let's talk about another commonly debated topic: home improvement!Do-It-Yourself (DIY): women better than men?* About 5.3million women claim they are better at carrying out DIY jobs than theyr male partners* 2.5million women who live with their partner said they did most home improvement jobs* ... But men dispute the trend, with just 4% agreeing their wives did most of the jobs around the house !Please post your comments! I did not have time to read them all, but I would like to share with you some interesting articles on Networking (found on the Executive Career site of the Wall Street Journal): http://www.careerjournal.com/jobhunting/networking/Women Networking * Why Women Make Better Networkers * Savvy Professional Women Promote Themselves Well* Women Find Nontraditional Ways To Network for AdvancementJob hunting* If You Want a New Position, Start Networking Now (I always urge people to start as soon as possible)* Why Networking is Still The Best Way to Job Hunt * Stay Connected With Others Throughout Your Job Search* Savvy Job Hunters Learn to Network Nicely Linkedin have launched another interface, and today I am going to insist on the member homepage which has changed a lot. As an experienced networker, every Linkedin new release is a real pleasure!The new interface: a better support to Linkedin's business modelLinkedin Executives are clever. Indeed, the new interface gives more value to its members (improved access to useful new information), and it promotes their premium services better.Linkedin business model is based on premium services, job services and avertising. Thanks to the new interface I am confident they will further increase their member database, and they will make more members aware of these extra features. Network updates I have been waiting for those info for so long, and it is one of the best improvements of the new interface!Now, you know how active your contacts (Linkedin members) are, and you know when one of your personal contact has registered on Linkedin.You can broadcast some news to part of/all your contacts and notify them your got a new job for instance. Of course, when you choose one of the available entries, first you see an intermediate page which promotes Linkedin features and premium services.New membersNothing really new here: you are aware of a new member in one of your companies, groups, and among your contacts not-yet Linkedin members (providing you have uploaded your outlook contacts)Nevertheless, the display has been improved and now you see the job title and the company of the new joiners.Network dataThey have added new stats, and they have improved their display (look of the icons and bars). A couple of weeks ago, Linkedin launched a new feature: now it is easy to reconnect with your old classmates. The list of contacts displayed is based on the name of the institution and the dates you entered in your profile. In a recent article posted on the blog from L'express magazine, I found list of blogs from networking groups for women.List of blogs (in French)* Du rose dans le gris* Action de femme* Administration moderne* Arborus* HRM Women* EPWNEuropean Professional Women Network (EPWN)If you are a professional woman I would advise to check the website from the excellent networking group, EPWN.I know this network very well: the members are bright, open-minded and available, the team is great, and the events are always excellent!Moreover, it is a real pan-European network with chapters in Paris, London, Oslo, Geneva, Vienna, Amsterdam, Sophia, Brussels, Milan, Madrid.
