- marcboschma, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Hey Stan,
I have found your advice and vindication of my own perspectives on LinkedIn invaluable in using the tool. Being able to get a heart beat on the mood of my network via their individual activities has been instrumental in a number of opportunities. - mattimattila, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Stan - Thank you for sharing this information!

Ilya - LMKidney, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Hi Stan, Another great pod cast. Always a pleasure learning more about networking and ideations using LinkedIn. Thanks!
- MHua, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Hi Stan;
Love the podcast... excellent content, and highlighted some very interesting views. Love to hear more. All for taking Aust Linkedin usage to the same (hopefully better) level than that of the US too! :-) Keep up the great work. - Dannysmall, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Hi Stan,
Great podcast it's always good to hear about linkedin and better ways to use it. - ygourven, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Hi Stan, Dugg! Will download the podcast and listen to it on the go on my PDA.
Looking fwd to listening what Christian has to say about this :-) - LMKidney, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0It is a bright beautiful day here on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada and the sun has a comforting warmth, although roadways like LinkedIn are still churning-up masses of potential net-workers individuals like Christian Mayaud truly understand what networking is all about -- even if he is a VC! I appreciated his intent scrutiny about LinkedIn and he spoke with such passion about the subject both strong and positive in character, and with, I think, the widest understanding of this business tool. I found him as a speaker kind and considerate. Thank you both Stan and Christian.
- oscartr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Great stuff - Great to see Cam flourishing - interesting bet - good luck to both of you
- barbara99, on 10/20/2007, -0/+0Great first show Stan! I'm catching up on all the past shows. Good luck with the challenge :-)
- paulzag, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0Stan won the bet.
I think the outcome makes a point about willing networkers. Regardless of absolute audience numbers. Stan was able to deliver more people who would "do him a favour" and digg this item.
If "doing a favour" can be leveraged to business success, AND if it is a two way street (which I believe it does and is), then it proves the power of a large network of people. - mailehab, on 11/05/2007, -0/+0Stan,
Fantastic useful information on how LinkedIn can be used as a business tool. Hope more and more people especially here in Australia would see the value in using LinkedIn.

Great show! Really enjoyed the episodes I've listened to so far and looking forward to catching up on the remaining podcasts so I'm up to date.
Erik - Blaste, on 12/17/2007, -0/+0Stan, Although it's hard to befriend a person who admits to being a "headhunter" in their job title, you have given me more than many high profile individuals through your contact and especially the Connections podcast. There isn't a better way out there for those uninitiated with the power of LinkedIn to get a handle on the opportunities networking using today's technology allows. As a recruiter with a focus on overseas engineering talent, I'm still learning how to maximise my rewards from my business "connections" however, know that in Stan I'm learn from one of the best!!

P.S. to my fellow AHRI members across Australia, if you haven't yet taken advantage of a database which includes more than 20 million potential applicants to source staff- there's no better way to get started than listening to Stan's show... - mamm1, on 12/24/2007, -0/+0Excellent work as always Stan!

Finally I've got myself "DIGG-ing" again - I loved this podcast - it resonates particularly with me as LinkedIn is working well for me as a business tool, helping me make new business contacts, find new career opportunities and get back in touch with people from school days to business associates. I have listened to many of your podcasts and have been recommending them to others. I even had a serendipitous email exchange with Vincent Wright last week - I really enjoyed that podcast, which thanks to the wonders of technology, my wife and I were listening to in the car travelling north from Sydney for the holidays (on headphones whilst the children had a DVD playing in the back!). Vincent sounds a remarkable individual. I look forward to many more podcasts on the topic of LinkedIn, Web 2.0 in general, and "the art of business networking"

- kiara68, on 01/16/2008, -0/+0Hi Stan,
Thank you very much for sharing all this interesting information. I enjoyed it and it was better than reading a book on tips and best practices for Linkedin users.
Thanks again,
Patricia - ivetyugov, on 01/16/2008, -0/+0High valued professionally done casts - waiting for 'em every week as for delicious well-cooked meal, lot of thanks, Stan!
