[itroundtable] LinkedIn Tip: Don't let LinkedIn use your picture to advertise products

 

Tip from Patrick Omalley. In case you haven't already changed your LinkedIn setting.   Missing LinkedIn Tips for Sales, Jobs, Recruiting, HR, etc LinkedIn using your picture to advertise products (social advertising) Posted: 30 Jan 2012 12:20 PM PST Summary: LinkedIn may now use your picture to advertise other products.  Change privacy settings if you don't like this. Details: LinkedIn is doing "social advertising", which means that they can use your picture in LinkedIn ads that are shown to your connections to advertise products that you might not endorse.  Your connections may be misled and think you endorse them, depending on how savvy they are.  (Facebook did this at one point, and most people hated it). LinkedIn was probably using my picture to "get attention from the ladies". Here's how you stop it: Hover your cursor over your name in the upper right hand corner of your LinkedIn page Click Settings In the lower left, click "Account" In the top middle, click "Manage Social Advertising" Uncheck and Save Call LinkedIn and offer to sell the use of your picture for $500,000 per year, as I did. Still waiting. Do you care if they use your picture? You are subscribed to email updates from Missing LinkedIn Tips for Sales, Jobs, Recruiting, HR, etc  Email delivery powered by
