  • Assuming that the URL for the business profile will be http://www.linkedin.com/profiles/company_name, there is a good chance that it will be in top 5 SERP for the company name. This is an excellent opportunity for Reputation Management as well.
  • Here's a tip for Facebook and LinkedIn - when a user begins to receive racist, sexually explicit SPAM, don't punish the victim for demanding the offender's account be cancelled!

    GO FUCK YOURSELF. NIGGER LOVER!!!
