This tip’s for Mike Nurse and other people who are looking for small things that could make LinkedIn more useful for them… =)

Did you know that you can customize your LinkedIn URL to make it more memorable, writable, and professional?

Log on to linkedin.com.
Click on Profile – Edit Profile.
Click on Edit next to your Public Profile URL.
Click on Edit next to Your Public Profile URL. Choose a short, memorable URL. Click on Set Address.
Optionally customize what people see on your public profile.
Click on Save Changes.

If you want to make it easier for people to connect with you on LinkedIn, put your new URL on your business card, your e-mail signature, your website, and other social network profiles. Little things like that help make it easier for other people to connect with you.
