    Last week LinkedIn launched a significant integration with Twitter, enabling professionals to expand their personal brands to their professional networks and vice-versa. To show our users how that might work, today we’re asking you: What’s the best business advice you’ve ever received? The best business advice I ever received seemed to be something of an oxymoron. As an entrepreneur, you’re told frequently, “Be persistent! Follow your vision! Flatten obstacles!” But on the other hand, you’re urged to “Learn from the market! Adapt to changing…

    9 Nov 2009 | 9:00 pm
    Today we’re announcing a partnership between LinkedIn and Twitter – and new features that we think are going to make both Twitter and LinkedIn more powerful for you.  The idea is simple: When you set your status on LinkedIn you can now tweet it as well, amplifying it to your followers and real-time search services like Twitter Search and Bing. And when you tweet, you can send that message to your LinkedIn connections as well, from any Twitter service or tool. Why? Because when you’re trying to get something done, you want Twitter and LinkedIn to work together. Like peanut…

    Graffiti on buildings is something of a touchy subject. If it’s done with malicious or destructive intent, it’s merely another hassle for the (likely) already over-worked owner of the building. However, some street art pieces are mural-esque and can actually enhance the beauty of a fallen or forgotten neighborhood. Because of the destructive/artistic dualism of the graffiti act, today’s Daily Dose will include reflections on both sides of the issue. I’ll share a few tips I found on how to remove graffiti from masonry walls as well as images of some stunning examples of…
