A picture paints a thousand words: Profile photos arrive at LinkedIn

September 27th, 2007 Leave a comment Go to comments

LinkedIn, the business networking site, will tomorrow for the first time allow its members to upload their photographs to their profiles.

LinkedIn have announced that you can opt to have privacy of the image, and thus restrict its visibility to your connections, your network, or everyone, and also choose not to see others’ photos in a similar pattern. In addition there is also a cropping and centring tool to be made available to cut down large images to the ‘head and shoulders’ suitable for a profile photo.

    David,

    I read the thread in Q&A at Linked[in] that you replied to on this subject. After doing so, I had a look at your profile. That led me to your blog, where I saw your posting below about the FaceBook profile link, and I grabbed my name there to. Wasn’t sure if I should post a reply here or there. I’ll keep an eye on your blog. You can also join my conversation at GigantiCo. It’s a bit more eclectic than your page here, but there are some social media postings that you may find interesting.

    cheers,
    Chris
