LinkedIN Wants You to Make INtroductions

A few weeks back, my friend Mario Sundar from LinkedIn gave away 50 copies of Trust Agents to people who did a quick twitter shoutout. Well, he’s at it again. LinkedIn, in partnership with 800CEORead (as a distributor) are giving out another 50. (This isn’t exactly a sponsored post, but Mario’s obviously doing me a favor by buying 50 books to give to you.)

Here’s what you do to win:

ON TWITTER (not on this blog and not on linkedin), I want you to introduce one of your LinkedIn connections to another person on Twitter, and tag the introduction with #linkedin. Here’s an example:

“Hey @davedelaney: I’d love for you to meet @incslinger. You’d appreciate him. #linkedin”

The first 50 that I count doing that will receive a copy of Trust Agents, courtesy of LinkedIn.

Mario and LinkedIn believe that what LinkedIn does best is offer a way to share trusted relationships. I think that’s the very best thing they do. The reputation engine at the heart of LinkedIn, including the recommendation system, is my favorite. That’s one of the things I really love about the service.

So, get tweeting if you want a free copy of Trust Agents.
