What’s appropriate to write in my LinkedIn status updates?
Although LinkedIn status updates can cross-post with Twitter, be careful only to post professional comments to LinkedIn. This means no posts about the weather or your crazy cat. The best status updates are like snippets from a networking conversation: quick notes about events you’re attending, accomplishments you’re proud of, articles or books you’ve read and professional announcements like a new position. Overall, use your judgment, be polite and act maturely. If you wouldn’t do it in person, don’t do it on LinkedIn!
