Now that LinkedIn is a decade old and has 225 million members, its fastest-growing demographic –30 million and counting—is students and those who are three years or less out of college. Though LinkedIn’s user agreement says that members agree they are at least 18 years old, I am going to make a recommendation and a prediction: High school students should start LinkedIn profiles now. I predict that LinkedIn will soon drop its age threshold or eliminate it altogether. Consider that Facebook’s threshold is 13, and the site has hundreds of thousands, if not millions of kids under 13 using it every day. Unlike Facebook, LinkedIn has no place to enter a birth date.

LinkedIn Tells Prostitutes to Stop Using the Service, Even If It’s Legal in Their Country

LinkedIn Ends Unsavory Practice
Not only is "prostitution" a tagged skill you can select on LinkedIn*, until just recently you could also advertise your services as a prostitute on the professional networking site.
Those days are over. LinkedIn just changed its privacy policy and user agreement and now bans escorts from using the site to get clients. The new user agreement states that you must not: "Create profiles or provide content that promotes escort services or prostitution" even if prostitution is legal where you live.
If you thought that this change in policy was perhaps just some sort of formality, think again. There really are prostitutes using LinkedIn to make connections. A quick search reveals there are a whole lot of "escorts" and professionals who offer "nude massage." A few that we found are shown below:
*Not only can you list "prostitution" as a skill, you can list a whole lot of other unsavory skills like "rape,""shoplifting,""gangs,""manslaughter," and "drug trafficking." People can also endorse you for those skills.

How To Let Employers Know You're Interested In A Job On LinkedIn Without Applying
According to a CareerBuilder study, 70% of employed people are actively looking for a job at any given time, but in the networking era, there are several tactics you can use to open career opportunities without explicitly verbalizing that you're looking for a job.
Today, jobseekers can use LinkedIn for a variety of professional reasons, such as connecting with others in your industry. Like all networking platforms, LinkedIn allows you to casually keep tabs on people, but since it's a professional network, it also allows you to strategically place yourself on the radar of potential employers.
In this interview, we speak to Rick Gillis, author of the book "Job!: Learn How to Find Your Next Job In 1 Day, " on how to let employers know you're interested in a job without actually applying and ways you can position yourself as a top candidate.

LinkedIn Bans Prostitution and Escort Services on its Site
Watch Video(Image Source: LinkedIn)
*JASMINE BAILEY*
Anyone planning on using LinkedIn — the professional networking site — to gain clients in the world’s oldest profession, better think again. The company just added a new clause in its user agreement terms.
It states users shall not: *“Upload, post, email, InMail, transmit or otherwise make available or initiate any content that: Even if it is legal where you are located, create profiles or provide content that promotes escort services or prostitution.” *(Via LinkedIn)
Before the change, there was a similar clause prohibiting users from “unlawful” activities — however, prostitution isn’t “unlawful” in every country.
Mashable talks to a representative who says, *“…LinkedIn decided to be a little more explicit about banning these professions from the site, regardless of what a country's laws might be.”*
So, was the move really necessary for the site? After all, the point of LinkedIn is to build a professional identity. Well actually, it might have been. On the site people can endorse you for skills…
…one of which is prostitution. But we’ve got to point out the description ties it to law enforcement. So it’s probably meant for police officers. (Via LinkedIn)
But a writer for ReadWrite points out an “escort” means basically the same thing as prostitute, noting, *“ …escort services fall into a legal gray area in many jurisdictions. The clarification appears necessary, as some LinkedIn members appear to have been skirting the older terms to offer risqué business.” *(Via Read Write)
LinkedIn’s new policy came into effect as of Monday. Reported by Newsy 2 days ago.

Brothel Owner Blasts LinkedIn's Prostitute Ban
LinkedIn's decision to prevent prostitutes from using the site to market themselves has one legal brothel owner feeling, well, screwed.
The business networking website announced a new privacy policy and user agreement that prevents members from creating "profiles or providing content from promoting escort services or prostitution."
The new policy has brothel owner Dennis Hof hot and bothered.
Hof owns of the Moonlight Bunny Ranch in Mound House, Nev., where prostitution is legal. He said the LinkedIn policy change is heavy-handed, arbitrary and not fair to people who run law-abiding businesses.
"Are you then going to shut down Steve Wynn's casino in Vegas, where gambling is legal?" Hof asked The Huffington Post rhetorically. "Don't paint me the same as the people who are doing things illegally."
Hof also finds the rules hypocritical because they don't affect porn stars, a high percentage of whom do escorting on the side.
"The FBI says anyone who takes money for sex is a prostitute," he said.
Hof understands the reasoning behind the rule, but said the new rule lacks nuance.
"LinkedIn was enabling illegal prostitution, but they need to go after the sex traffickers and leave us alone," he said.
Hof is now hoping to get his point across to LinkedIn head honchos Reid Hoffman and Jeff Weiner by having his legal sex workers "twitter jump" on their twitter pages.
"Weiner is a funny name for a guy trying to stop sex," Hof said.
Susan Austin, who runs the Mustang Ranch brothel near Reno, Nev., supports the new ruling.
Austin believes that social networking is a form of advertising, which she said is against the Nevada state statutes regarding prostitution.
"Advertising is against the state statutes and I wouldn't allow my ladies to advertise in any form," Austin told The Huffington Post. "Social media is a gray area that turns ugly fast."
Although the LinkedIn rule change might be designed to prevent prostitutes from soliciting business online, Austin believes that is a good thing.
"It will cut down on predators pretending to be customers," she said.
However, she agrees with Hof that if LinkedIn's ruling is hypocritical towards other forms of sex workers.
"The ruling should cover all sorts of sex work," she said. Reported by Huffington Post 1 day ago.

Ming Chen: Reluctantly LinkedIn
It was unavoidable. It was like I didn't exist. There are nearly 2,000 Ming Chens on LinkedIn. How did that happen? Last I looked, I had the impression there was only one freckle-faced Ming Chen, and that was me. It's alarming to realize that there are thousands of you in cyberspace, and most of them sound pretty credentialed if you believe what their LinkedIn profiles have to say. I had to step up my game and update my LinkedIn profile.
Every year, we hire thousands of new staff worldwide to work at EF Education First (www.ef.com/careers). About 20 percent of our open positions are filled internally, another 20 percent are through staff referrals and the rest are from people who applied after seeing a job opportunity we posted. When we post the position on LinkedIn, then it's a 90 percent chance that the candidate we hired came through LinkedIn. The quality of LinkedIn's applicant pool is undeniable, especially compared to local job boards in Europe, Asia, America, and Latin America.
This powerful professional network which recently celebrated its tenth birthday has become more than just a nifty digital platform dominating our company's recruiting efforts -- it's also become a commonly accepted way to verify and validate your professional experience and qualifications. LinkedIn has moved us from the one dimensional, one page résume to a multidimensional monster.
The burden of finding a job has shifted from the job seeker to the potential employer. With a compelling public profile on LinkedIn, hiring managers and recruiters will take note and job offers will flood in. So as long as you keep accepting connections, expanding your network, posting the content that tells the story of you, that special someone, somewhere, will find you. But first, they have to find you.
*How could I distinguish myself in the sea of Ming Chens? Here's what I found:*
1) *Keep it short, smart, and targeted. *Approach your LinkedIn summary as if you are composing your own obituary to be read by professionals who may want to work with you.
2) *Personal SEO has become an art form. *Potential employers and recruiters will scan your profile for the same buzz words that match the job description. Think carefully about the buzz words you use in your leadership/entrepreneurial/executive role you have directing/overseeing/accelerating/managing your team/products/division/business unit. These words drive the powerful formula behind who finds you.
3) *Referrals are increasingly important on LinkedIn. *Reach out to previous employers and colleagues for referrals. As an employer, we'll pay more attention to candidate's profiles if they have referrals.
4) *Claim your "vanity" LinkedIn url. *Make it easier for folks to find you at http://www.linkedin.com/in/YOURNAME
5) *Forget about 6 degrees of separation. *Our world has been reduced to 2 or 3 degrees of separation with LinkedIn (and for the price of a premium upgrade, you can become connected by 1 degree). And, the wider your network, the more likely you are to get contacted by the right person who will make (or break) your career. Banish any thoughts you might have about how freaky it is that anybody can check out your profile because it's a two-way mirror -- you can see who's checking you out, too.
6) *Your network is your new neighbor. *It's easier to accept connections and make connections with people you don't know on LinkedIn in the context of "I'm doing this for my job or future job". What does this mean for mankind? To me, the meaning of "community" has gone from neighbors and friends to more random people like someone who went to the same school as my former colleague's husband's brother's boss. When I set out to review the hundreds of connection requests that had been accruing in my LinkedIn inbox during the past few years, I decided to accept most of them, in recognition of that fact that any one of these people, no matter how peripherally connected I am to them today, might help me overcome my next big challenge at EF.
7) *All roads are leading to LinkedIn. *LinkedIn probably isn't how people are finding you -- it could be through your email, Twitter, or Facebook. But by making sure your LinkedIn profile is visible (via your email signature or Facebook profile), you become more accessible to potential employers.
8) *LinkedIn sucks up a lot of time. *Just like any other social networking site. In the past few days that I have started to "optimize" myself, I've done a lot of clicking around, following my fairly indiscriminate strategy of making my network as wide as possible. Endorsing people left and right, making connections, dressing up my profile. This stuff takes valuable time from any human level interaction I might have had in the real world. Eventually, just like my infrequent Facebook presence and my very lonely Twitter account, I think that my LinkedIn account will be a small flame in the larger fire of Ming Chens out there.
But I must admit, I do feel slightly better that now I am sort of LinkedIn. After all, I am more than just 1 out of 1,841 Ming Chens. I am http://www.linkedin.com/in/therealmingchen. Reported by Huffington Post 1 day ago.
