Disclaimer: This post is meant to be a light-hearted review of people spending too much time on Linkedin.  It is not intended to address any addictions.

If the first thing you do in the morning when you hop out of bed is to log into Linkedin, then you may be a Link addict.  If left untreated, it can lead to sleep deprivation, marital problems, and possibly generate no revenue.

10 warning signs…

If you think you are suffering from LA, take the quiz below.  Just answer “true” or “false” to each statement.

1. You find yourself accessing Linkedin, first thing in the morning, and last thing before you go to bed at night in addition to sneaking peaks during the day.
2. You become angry or agitated when your access to Linkedin is slow or prevents you from connecting.
3. Given the choice of reading a book or spending time alone, you choose Linkedin.
4. You check the number of “connections” you have more than once a day.
5. Your Google searches consist of finding new material related to Linkedin.
6. You talk in terms of your friends as first, second or third level connections.
7. It makes perfect sense to you to use something called Answers to ask questions.
8. At family and/or business gatherings, you’re hitting them up to see if they are on Linkedin and interested in connecting with you.
9. You would rather spend time on Linkedin versus spending time with your wife/family/partner/significant other (well, sometimes this might be a god thing)
10. The hair on the back of your neck stands up when someone mentions that Facebook is a social networking site for business

If you answer “true” to one or more of these questions, you may be Linked Addicted.

It has often been said that social media addicts do not want to miss anything; they are glued to the services they use 24/7 as they feel they must have their finger on the pulse and be involved in everything and all conversations.  We will continue to populate this blog with more information, more tips and more techniques for leveraging Linkedin.  So continue to visit but please don’t blame us if you become a Linked Addict!
