Trust Your Strategy, Not LinkedIn by Joshua Waldman - Dec, 2009 LinkedIn is a very powerful SUV. I get in it for a road-trip. I turn it on, take it to the car wash. Then I realized that I have no idea where I want to go. The maps in the back seat pile up and spill over, leaving me in limbo. Where do I go now?
