Informed: the podcast for LinkedIn® users17 Jan 2015

48. Commercial Use Limit Hell!

News

Facebook is still the top social network. This survey reported that only 13% of LinkedIn users visit the site daily in comparison to 70% of Facebook users.
Scammers are using LinkedIn as a way of bypassing corporate spam filters.
LinkedIn will be launching new intra-company communication tools. Is this a move to counter Facebook at work?
Beware of phishing emails purporting to be from LinkedIn that are designed to steal your username and password. Always use unique passwords, I use 1Password to help me manage this.

Update

The new LinkedIn search restrictions and how to get around them. This is mainly an issue for recruiters because the commercial use restriction appears to be 40-60 searches a month. Two viable alternatives to upgrading your account could be;
1 premium account per office (that everyone uses when needed)
Google X-ray searching
Premium accounts seem to have reverted to the previous options for some (including me!)
