LiveCode on LinkedIn

[Richard Gaskin]

LinkedIn is a great resource for professionals, with an audience larger 
than Twitter's and fewer cat pictures than Facebook. ;)

One of LinkedIn's main features is the member profile, where we list our 
skills and interests, and that's where you come in:

It's common among LinkedIn members to include programming languages they 
have expertise in, like JavaScript, PHP, Python, etc.  These languages 
are popular enough that you'll often find yourself prompted to endorse 
someone you know for those skills.

But LiveCode doesn't have as much visibility on LinkedIn, so it almost 
never appears in such prompts - we can change that:

First, be sure to list LiveCode among the skills in your profile.

Second, when you have time you might consider adding that to 
endorsements for other LinkedIn members whose LiveCode skills you respect.

I took a couple minutes this morning to add "LiveCode" as a skill in 
endorsements to some of the folks I know here.

Unfortunately this can't be done with the prompt LinkedIn presents 
during most browsing of the site, but you can add LiveCode to the prompt 
that appears when browsing someone's profile.

If you keep this in mind when browsing LinkedIn, hopefully we can raise 
awareness of LiveCode in that increasingly useful professional venue.

Also, LinkedIn supports discussion groups, and there are several there 
related to LiveCode.  Just search the groups there for LiveCode and 
you'll find them, including a few regional groups like the one for 
Portland and another for SoCal.
