Some Twitter Help With a LinkedIn Purpose
I have harped constantly on how you need to make it easy for others to engage and connect with you on LinkedIn. Now with the new twitter link feature you have a simple answer to the rules and regulations of LinkedIn that make it difficult for others to connect with you.
Twitter has no rules about having your personal information on your profile and as you may have noticed many people have backgrounds with all kinds of data, email, phone address, and other links. Creating one of these backgrounds and providing visitors the email address they need to connect on LinkedIn is a great way to help others engage you and connect.
Once you have done this you can simply put in the first line of your summary and contact settings sections of your profile that people click and follow you on Twitter (a bonus) and that they can find your email there to connect on LinkedIn.
Just to make things easy, here are the directions for creating the background on Twitter.
You will need to design a graphic with the data and graphics you want for your Twitter background. Then go into the Account Settings / Design tab in your Twitter account. At the bottom of this page is a button to change the graphic. Use this to upload your graphic.
You may need to mess with the size and design of your background graphic to make it all work the way you wish, but its not terribly difficult if you have some basic Photoshop or other graphics program skills.
