Still using LinkedIn; still watching who is doing what and making educated guesses.
I wrote a while ago about LinkedIn users intent:
Let’s say that you see a connection who has been somewhat dormant in the past few months suddenly start adding connections like crazy and writing and getting recommendations.
Maybe they got organised and started working on their LinkedIn profile; just as likely is they are fishing around for a new role and want to polish up the profile.
I’ve noticed about a 70-80% correlation on this in the last year; profile gets refreshed and updated; a few months later people move on.
The other sure sign is adding a ‘recruiter’, ‘recruitment consultant’ or ‘candidate placement’ person to your profile. Here’s an example (names obscured to protect the innocent):
I’ve done this myself; I worked closely with a couple of really good recruiters and placement people; nothing came of it; but during the months I worked with them I found them to be exceptional at their role. I linked to them.

I didn’t want to blog this last week and scoop Ted. Here’s his post in his own words.
I worked with Ted since late 1999 – I was the Product Manager for ZENworks for Desktops; he was the dynamic and mouthy Californian telling people about it. I learned a lot from you Ted.

Scoble got the scoop; but this is a very interesting development.
Imagine really slick, interactive, powerful management consoles build on Eclipse and Flex. The same functionality in a thick console and in a web application.
I can see this being looked at really closely by a lot of the management console and UI people in Novell.

I’ve been a Nokia customer for years.
My first phone was a ‘Nokia Orange’ – the old 2140 brick.
Since then I’ve had lots of different Nokia phones; the only exception was a dreadful Motorola for a few months.
I’ve now had to make a choice – and I’m moving to a BlackBerry 8800.
Email on the move. Sad – but an indication of how things are changing.
