Tip from Patrick Omalley.
In case you haven't already changed your LinkedIn setting.

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 SaveCall 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?

Resending: LinkedIn Tip: Turn off your broadcast activity before cha

[Tip] Before you start changing your profile and go back and forth to add some punctuation error or modify, you need to turn off your broadcast activity. You would hate to broadcast to everyone every time you decide to change one little detail.
1. Go to LinkedIn and click on "settings" on the dropdown underneath your name. This is on the top right hand side of the screen.
2. You may be prompted to enter your password again, but you will be directed to the settings page.
3. On the bottom, you will see 4 tabs starting with "Profile", look for "Turn on/off your activity broadcast", click on it.
4. A window will pop up asking you to check/uncheck the box.
5. If you are looking to turn off a broadcast about each simple change to your profile, be sure to uncheck the box.
