Hey Niall –

But LinkedIn doesn’t provide the specific guidance/insight on which agencies/consultants are the good ones to hire. It is after all, just a platform. Recommendations from friends aren’t the same as reviews from experts… Steve Rubel writes about this: http://bit.ly/gdLVah. What we realized through building a directory of apps is that people don’t want a directory of choices – they want expert insight on which choice to make. So whether that’s a consultant choosing between CoTweet or Radian6 or Attensity or a brand choosing between your agency or your competitor… people value expertise. But speaking of LinkedIn we’d love to have you check out the conversations in our group amongst our social business pros. :) http://linkd.in/ihkO6d

Thanks for the write up, Aliza!!

Can’t see this one lasting too much longer. It made sense at the start because there was a need for it but as Twitter have started taking the app ecosystem back it just doesn’t have much of a use any more. Do I really want to look up profiles for social media pros? Would I not do that on Linkedin?
