[itroundtable] FW: LinkedIn expert tip – find people without paying $25

 

From: patrick.omalley.g@gmail.com

Posted: 02 Feb 2010 12:20 PM PST

Summary:

Sometimes, you search for someone in LinkedIn, but it says "out of network" because they aren't a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level connection, and LinkedIn won't give you the person's name.   You assume you have to pay LinkedIn $25 in order to see their name.  Not true, because you know me.


Details:

Here's my real life example
I was talking to a potential client (for social media consulting) at Connecticut Plastics, and she mentioned to me that the owner would be calling me.  I didn't hear his name clearly, and it would be awkward if I didn't know him by name when he called.
I did an advanced search on LinkedIn for

Connecticut Plastics owner

and it showed that he had a LinkedIn profile, but he was "out of network", so LinkedIn wouldn't give his name.
Cough up 25 bucks?  Not yet.
Look in Google using a fancy trick
Realize that Google has most LinkedIn profiles, so the trick is to somehow find them on Google for free.  If you pick some unique string from the info that LinkedIn does show you, and use a special feature of Google called the "site:" feature, (which allows you to just search one site on the Internet), you may find the name and full profile through Google.
I saw the string

Engineer at Alinabalin his profile and figured that very few other people would have that string in their profile.  Therefore, I put it into Google, along with the word owner, using the following magic search string

Engineer at Alinabal owner site:www.linkedin.comand found the profile in the Google results.  I clicked on the link, and LinkedIn showed me the LinkedIn profile page, with name and all.
See a 2 minute sample video
If you want to see a 2 minute video that shows exactly how to do it, go to my web site at

http://www.patrickomalley.com/linkedin-find-out-of-network-profiles-free.htmlThis technique doesn't work in every case, but it works in a lot of cases.  If it works for you, please send me $25 each time.
Pretty cool, huh?   Pass it on…
Shameless self-promotion

My email subscribers got this months ago – If you want these before I make them public, sign up for my email newsletter at http://www.patrickomalley.com

Speeches and seminars – I've been giving this tip in speeches and seminars for years.  Hire me and get WAY ahead of the curve.  And your friends will think you're cool.Share and Enjoy: Digg Sphinn del.icio.us Facebook Mixx Google Bookmarks Blogosphere News Design Float email LinkedIn Reddit StumbleUpon Technorati Tumblr TwitThis

Establishing an Enterprise BA Practice
 NJ IIBA Chapter Meeting  
February 18, 2010
 

The role of the business analyst is an important one for any organization. Yet, few companies use their BAs effectively. UPS recently instituted an enterprise-wide standard practice and training program for its business analysts in support of an initiative to create better requirements across its software-development projects.

 

This presentation will focus on the importance and benefits of establishing an enterprise-wide BA practice that applies consistent processes across all application teams - the same tools, methodologies, and best practices
 

Tom Ryder is the Business Analysis Practice Project Leader at UPS Information Services and is responsible for implementing the Business Analysis Practice initiative at UPS. Tom is also responsible for ensuring the success of the UPS Business Analysis Training Program, establishing standard processes, and metrics for overall improvement in business analyst work products.

 

Tom has been with UPS 17 years with over 12 years in the practice of business analysis. Tom has a Bachelor of Science and Finance from St. John's University, and an M.S. in Management Information Systems from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Tom is a member of the IIBA and serves on the IIBA's Competency Model committee.

  • Networking and lite fare at 5:30

Project Summit and BA World
Philadelphia
April 19 - 22, 2010 
 
The wonderful thing about Project Summit and BA World is that you will meet people who love to talk about projects; whether it's from the point of view of a project manager or a business analyst. 
 
One particular
Symposium Session caught my eye - Engaged or Married: What's the Right Level of Commitment Between PMs and BAs to Find Lasting Project Happiness?
 
For those who are engaged, much of your time together is all smiles and love, you can't get enough of each other. For those like me who have been married a while we look back and have fond memories of the engagement period, then our thoughts turn to making the marriage work; the balance between family, work, and friends. Marriage is hard work, especially if you want to make it succeed.
 
So my conclusion is that marriage is a type of 'project' and both parties have requirements and expectations. We have to understand each other's requirements and we have to project manage the marriage relationship to make it successful. One spouse is committed to making the other spouse successful, happy and willing to stay in the marriage and vice versa. Conflicts arise which could destroy the marriage unless they are worked out.
 
Do project managers and business analysts interact in similar ways? Since I've been married much longer (34 years) than I was engaged (3 months), my bet is that PMs and BAs have to act like married couples.
 
This should be an interesting panel discussion and I'm sure there will be a lot of audience interaction.
 
See you in Philly in April!

LEAD:  Sftwr Superstar - Startup

Posted by: "john sampson" jcsspike@yahoo.com   jcsspike

Fri Feb 5, 2010 4:14 pm (PST)




I'm looking to fill an important role for an innovative consumer internet venture that I've started with two friends. The business is based on a revolutionary search technology that organizes and customizes event information.

We are looking for a true superstar software engineer/programmer who has an entrepreneurial spirit. The candidate's role would be to design a highly scalable search crawling technology that integrates advanced information extraction algorithms and semantic web solutions to: (1) automatically extract event information (including the date, time, and nature of the event) that is dispersed throughout the internet, and (2) organize and match such information to pre-defined criteria about the event. The candidate should have extensive experience developing web crawling (search engine) technologies. Such experience may be drawn from a variety of sources, whether through prior work experience, academic studies or independent projects.

We are an early stage startup, and the opportunity we are offering is for someone to develop the required system in exchange for a stake in the company and a senior management position as the company grows -- extremely hard work, to be sure, but with huge upside potential.

The person for whom we are looking should be eager to get his hands dirty exploring, analyzing, and solving complex technological problems, and should be comfortable overseeing, as well as performing, all of the related tasks.

We would like to find someone who has always dreamed of building the next big company in his basement, and wants to make that dream a reality. This is a chance to take that exciting, challenging, rewarding journey -- to help create something great that will nudge the world.

If you or anyone you know has the skills indicated that would be interested in an opportunity of this nature, please get in touch with us at nycventure@gmail. com
