Is anyone else speculating about the perfect background image for their LinkedIn profile?
As much as I kvetch and send cautionary tales about LinkedIn’s evolving (and sometimes nonsensical) offerings, I’m still a huge fan.
So when my profile on the morning of June 4 presented the opportunity to change my background photo, a la Twitter, I started scouring my iPhone files and Flickr account for the perfect photo.
In case you haven’t heard, LinkedIn is rolling out a Twitter-like ability to upload a background photo to your LinkedIn profile.
Premium users can do it now. Others in weeks and months to come.
Here’s LinkedIn’s June 4 announcement, complete with an unbeatable image of an aspirational and beautifully lit street that any of us might traverse on the way to Sunday brunch: http://blog.linkedin.com/2014/06/04/stand-out-with-the-new-linkedin-premium-experience/
Like it? Love it?
I’ve abandoned my own photo lineup and spent the rest of the evening searching iStockPhoto for inspiration. I might resort to blasé photos of my own office.
Until next time!
