What is Digg?65 Comments
- WhoDoneIt, on 02/05/2009, -6/+26Guy can suck my bag. Really. He was, is, and wants to be all over the map. The best way I can explain him to fellow Digg users is the MrBabyMan of print media.
Guy has more VD on his hands than a whore.
Suck it, Guy. - inactive, on 02/05/2009, -2/+17Seriously, why does anyone listen to anything Guy Kawasaki writes? His early books about his work at Apple were good, but can anyone tell me what successes he has had since then? Garage ventures/Truemors/Alltop? Do these really make any money?
- johnwoo32, on 02/04/2009, -2/+15The good thing about LinkedIn is that people (in my network) keep it quite serious. Gives you a chance to keep up with what your friends and older acquaintances are doing professionally.
- quomen, on 02/05/2009, -1/+10What? Why are you getting dug up?
- Julie188, on 02/04/2009, -1/+9LinkedIn, is the Facebook for grown-ups, 'cept I'm a grown-up (well, childish adult, does that count?) and I have a facebook, too.
- InfamousAtheist, on 02/05/2009, -0/+6All the Facebook kiddies are burying your comment, but you're absolutely right.
LinkedIn is great, and so is Facebook - they serve very different purposes, which some people on this thread obviously don't understand. - billricardi, on 02/05/2009, -0/+6I'm glad that LinkedIn is getting some press, but why are the articles awful?
1) Half of the stuff listed is part of the walk through to complete your network, LinkedIn tells you what to do already.
2) He doesn't even talk about the features of LinkedIn Jobs! If the point is to get a job... um, why not use the built in job feature and all of its perks? He talks about using social hacks to get at HR people... but not the built in Groups feature? Not your limited number of blind introductions?
3) He doesn't sound like he personally has used the premium features, and he doesn't sound like he personally... DID any of this! He's missed every small trick: The Company Buzz applet, te Companies in your Network feature... this smacks of ghostwriting or just source quoting.
Should I do a REAL Knol on this? - Chirp08, on 02/05/2009, -0/+6Why, none of us know you, You are defeating the whole point of LinkedIn which is to build a network of co-workers that are trustworthy. For all we know you are the absolute worst employee in the world, thanks for proving another reason why LinkedIn is worthless.
- Elohir, on 02/05/2009, -8/+14LinkedIn is a viral pain in the ass. "Would you like to join <person who you've never met but who technically works for your company in the arse end of bangalore> on LinkedIn?"
"Are you sure you wouldn't like to join them?"
"Are you sure you wouldn't like to join them?"
"You have messages waiting on Linked In, login to see them!"
"Are you sure you wouldn't like to join them?"
"You have messages waiting on Linked In, login to see them!"
"Are you sure you wouldn't like to join them?"
"Would you like to join <bangalore person #2> on LinkedIn?"
"Are you sure you wouldn't like to join them?"
"You have messages waiting on Linked In, login to see them!"
"Are you sure you wouldn't like to join them?"
"You have messages waiting on Linked In, login to see them!"
"Are you sure you wouldn't like to join them?"
"You have messages waiting on Linked In, login to see them!"
"Are you sure you wouldn't like to join them?"

- gaphxro, on 02/04/2009, -2/+7I have a facebook account too, and a linkedln too, but i keep asking myself, if tehre are so many comunities, do people still subscribe and update their accounts ? Because i can't imagine someone which has he's account subscribed to these sites (let's say 30, which is a lot), and then chechking them daily, updating them.. etc.. it's crazy
- savocado, on 02/05/2009, -1/+6Guy Kawasaki - the man famous for nothing.
- bshock, on 02/05/2009, -0/+5Not Guy Kawasaki again. Haven't we spoken about this opportunistic idiot previously?
- BossKey, on 02/05/2009, -0/+4Yeah, the Facebook kids will get it once they need to find a job that involves something other than fries. A lot of the stuff in the article you can't do well on Facebook.
- winmywii, on 02/05/2009, -2/+6How to fail. Start a website named treumors.
- inactive, on 02/05/2009, -0/+3Guy Kawasaki is the ***** worst. Ever.
- extravagant, on 02/04/2009, -2/+5children are our future. hah
- Averness, on 02/05/2009, -0/+3Didn't you just say that exact same thing as another user about 3 posts up? WTF?

Coming tomorrow Guy Kawasaki's guide to using facebook to get to know that hot girl at the gym a little better through stalking! - SangekiRein, on 02/05/2009, -0/+2Um... title says 10 ways... the article says ten ways... however there is 11 tips.... Do people just not bother to count? Seriously?
- virtualmode, on 02/05/2009, -0/+2so does this mean that Guy Kawasaki has found a job using LinkedIn? or this is just another attempt to preach things the speaker doesn't even have a clue about in that wonderful form of "Top 10 theoretical things you might have already guessed yourself"?
- frontaxle, on 02/05/2009, -0/+2How can I Superpoke?
- RevLoki, on 02/05/2009, -0/+2What's with all the linkedin astroturf on digg the past couple days?
- InfamousAtheist, on 02/05/2009, -1/+3LinkedIn is a fantastic networking tool... let the kiddies hate on it, they have no clue how crucial the phrase "who you know" becomes when you're looking for a new job.
- InfamousAtheist, on 02/05/2009, -1/+311. Fix the economy so there are jobs to find.
- Chirp08, on 02/05/2009, -2/+4LinkedIn is just a way for adults to make it seem like they know a lot of important people, even if they are casual acquaintances.
- r00fus, on 02/06/2009, -0/+1Linkedin is the facebook for work-related *****.
there, fixed that for you. - diplo, on 02/05/2009, -0/+1And they don't try to charge you to actually get in contact with someone.
- inactive, on 02/05/2009, -8/+9LinkedIn is great. I've leveraged it a lot to do market intelligence work. Nothing gets you through a bitch secretary or an automated phone system like knowing a person's name within the company.
- luseton, on 02/05/2009, -0/+1With the amount of spam ....LinkedIn is MySpace for grown ups.
- MWeather, on 02/05/2009, -1/+21950's? I think you mean the 1940s.
- inactive, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1Thanks guys!
- betona, on 02/05/2009, -0/+1I started following Guy on Twitter out of curiosity. I swear, he spends 18 hours a day surfing the web and posting links. All day, every day. (Twitterfox keeps popping up with guylinks)
- graeh, on 02/07/2009, -0/+1ugh - you're giving me 'nam flashbacks to when I used to fight through mountains of ***** targetted and nonsense generated spam to get to real correspondence.
Every god damned block of 100 emails, peppered with at least 1 or 2 ***** nags from linkedin, which I don't use. - johndajap56, on 02/06/2009, -2/+2Well it think it's appropriate to look up to someone of your ethnicity. African Americans look up to MLK or Barack Obama, why can't i look up to Guy?
- Swivelstick, on 02/05/2009, -1/+1Tied up in the basement?
or
On you're train line??
or
In the garage?? - WoollyMittens, on 02/05/2009, -1/+130 wouldn't even be crazy much... let's see: MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AOL, LinkedIn, Twitter, Plurk, AussieTechHead, Aussie Geek Podcast, Slashdot, Sourceforge, Google Code, Ars Technica, Monster.
Good grief... and for the good all those do me, I might as well have plugged my internet into the fish-bowl. - MWeather, on 02/05/2009, -1/+1"Because i can't imagine someone which has he's account subscribed to these sites (let's say 30, which is a lot), and then chechking them daily, updating them.. etc.. it's crazy"
That's why we need open protocols for sharing data amongst social networks. Update one, and you update them all. Either that or eventually social networking will die out or become monopolised. - MWeather, on 02/05/2009, -3/+3They did better than the companies you started,
- inactive, on 02/05/2009, -1/+1As Ron Paul said, jobs are a SIGN of a healthy economy. You can't have jobs without increasing productivity and jobs can't be created out of thin air. If I dug a hole, for no reason, and then was ordered to fill it back up, would you call that productivity? All too long this country has relied on ponzi schemes for "wealth" and job creation.
- KimmyGibbler, on 02/05/2009, -2/+2You make it sound as if Japanese-americans are an oppressed people. This isn't the 1950s
- clauschidlow, on 02/11/2009, -0/+0Interesting... I´ll try it!
- JulienV, on 04/14/2009, -0/+0Linked in is too cold and useless, Facebook is private, but myBusinessin.com is more professional !!
- KimmyGibbler, on 02/05/2009, -1/+1No, I meant the 1950s. I was assuming that people didn't stop being racist towards Japanese-americans as soon as WWII was over

http://blog.jimmyr.com/Guy_Kawasaki_Twitter_Spamme ... - BuildaLittle, on 02/05/2009, -0/+0Chidish adult? That is an oxymoron if I've heard one. I am classified as a 55 year old, but am really a 55 year old child at heart. I too have a face book and LinkedIn page.
I am a newbie at both but hey . . .ya gotta grow with the times if you want to stay a child for very long. You become an adult when you decide you don't need to change anymore. - dig1x, on 02/06/2009, -1/+1What I want to know, is how do I keep my current coworkers from seeing that I'm using LinkedIn to find a _new_ job?
- JulienV, on 04/14/2009, -0/+0you can try myBusinessin.com !!
