		<description>[...] I had the pleasure of joining WebCast.TV recently to talk with Pelpina Trip about LinkedIn in a three part video series. I&#8217;ve long felt that LinkedIn is misunderstood as a valuable tool for networking, recruiting, prospecting and job search. My goal was to discuss some details of LinkedIn in hopes of getting more folks to take another look at LinkedIn. I also believe creating and optimizing your LinkedIn profile is an effective way to optimize your web presence for your personal name. [...]</description>

		<description>Clarissa, wow you went old school with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://tripod.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;tripod.com&lt;/a&gt;. My first website was on GeoCities. I agree if you are a designer or programmer you definitely need to showcase your Mad Skills as they cool kids say.</description>

		<description>This is all very true. It&#039;s especially important to me because I am a web designer. It doesn&#039;t make much sense for someone who builds websites for a living to have a site located at &lt;a href=&quot;http://webdesigngrrl.tripod.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://webdesigngrrl.tripod.com&lt;/a&gt; or something like that. Having my own domain name shows that I take my work seriously and value my work enough to pay to have my name (and nothing else) associated with it.</description>

		<description>Thank You Bill for the feedback. My goal was to get folks to take action. I had several emails from folks who went and secured domains Saturday afternoon. Have a good day.</description>
