Speaking at a conference this week. Should I succumb to the implicit herd pressure and create a Linkedin account to maximise my schmoozing surface area?

@phil_stevens not having one will (perversely) make you more memorable... just make sure there's any easy place to find out more about you... like your slowfarm website...

@phil_stevens I don't know about your line of work, but in mine it's a necessary evil. Like Teams, or Windows, or Outlook, or Word. Wait all these things have something in common 😁

@phil_stevens @essjax yes, seems to me that you give them a finger, they take the whole arm up to the shoulder. And adopting one means you're more likely to find opportunities that required you to adopt the rest. 🤢 Think of it as a way to pre-qualify work opportunities.

@lightweight Yeah, that has been my gut instinct...have put up a single-page site to cover this particular venture with laser focus.https://beel.co.nz/

@phil_stevens Very sensible. When people are interested in you, you should definitely control the narrative! Good stuff - hope it goes well!
