To promote my socially conscious, green project I incorporated a Google Doc into my Profile, so those visiting my site can scroll through a mini-proposal and get an idea of the conscious efforts of our company as well as the professional endeavors. http://www.linkedin.com/in/carolynaloveless

I enjoyed writing thoughtful recommendations for my connections until I was informed that my company was in the process writing a policy to forbid the practice. Imagine my disappointment when I was advised that I had to call one of my connections and ask them to remove my recommendation from their profile page.

I don't even understand the reasoning behind such a policy, nor do I understand your company's ability to limit your ability to make a personal recommendation. Depending on how marketable you are, I might have gone to battle with the company over such a policy ... they really don't have the right to tell you what to do in your free time.

I actually don't see the Events tab on my LinkedIn page - is this part of the upgrade package?

No, it's part of the free LinkedIn -- check your Apps Sidebar and see if it is listed there.

For LinkedIn recommendations, I think its better to wait until someone asks you for a recommendation. They may not want my recommendation and don't want to post it if I do give them one. Then they feel awkward about not publicizing it.

I find that if you freely give a recommendation you want to give, you invariably get an even better one in return. I don't think I've ever asked for a recommendation.
Again... like I said for the other articles of this series... Congratulations!
And thanks!!

Excellent overview of how to really Pay It Forward using LinkedIn! Pay It Forward should be the central theme of any social networking one does, and I am happy to see @Mashable covering all of the bases!

Another great way to use LinkedIn is to forward your friend's profiles to Executive Recruiters who many call you as part of a search project they are working on. I guarantee you that these profile forwards get read and seriously considered by Search firms if you are a trusted partner / contact to them.
