How Many LinkedIn Connections are Too Many?
There is an ongoing debate out there right now in the world of LinkedIn, and that is: how many connections can you have?
The short answer: LinkedIn limits you to 30,000 connections.
The question came up when I was trolling through the “Answers” area of LinkedIn the other day, when I found somebody who posed the question, “Why is it OK for Twitter members to have hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of followers… but not so for Linkedin members?” I responded, in short, that I didn’t feel the two social media networks could be compared, and that thousands or hundreds of thousands of people with whom I connect on Twitter aren’t necessarily “quality” connections or people I know for that matter.
It’s not to say the people on Twitter aren’t nice people — it’s just that I don’t know all of them. I might take an interest in them. But I don’t know all of them.

Linking in to LinkedIn Effectively
LinkedIn was one of the first social networking tools that I ever joined online. The concept was simple: you know people, those people know people, and maybe, just maybe, a connection of yours might know someone who can help you with a particular problem.
Its search engine is especially useful, allowing you to see people who you might not know directly, but might be able to connect with through someone in your network via an introduction.

Small Business, Big Voices, Episode 8: Dee Rudko, AMRCON
This next series of videos occurred after a seminar we gave demonstrating the difference between the types of Facebook pages to business owners in the area. Some had started down the Facebook path by creating their own personal page based on their business, others had created a group page, while still others had created a fan page. Once they had their pages, most didn’t know what to do with it. We helped give them some ideas to implement as their strategy going forward.
