Quick Tip: Tag your Connections on LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a great way to keep in contact with your professional contacts. If you are not already tagging your connections in conversations on LinkedIn, why not start doing this more.
Linkedin enables you to tag a person or a company in your LinkedIn updates/posts just like you do use the @ symbol on Twitter for example. Simply type @ and start typing their name and select them from the drop-down menu.
When you share/post the update the person you have tagged will get a notification and other people will be able to click on the tag to go to the profile you have mentioned. It can be a great way to pay it forward and give a shout out to a connection or share their work.
Used in other conversations and comments, it can also be a way to bring a conversation to a connections attention and/or make a recommendation etc.
