Are You Using LinkedIn's 'Signal' Feature? One of the Hidden Gems of Social Recruitment

For those that are using LinkedIn to have an on going discourse with your connections, one of the hidden gems is their 'signal' feature. Basically, the feature allows you to navigate the status stream more specifically then what you can do on your home page. For any of your connections (2nd connections etc.), you can pinpoint conversations/shares/status updates based upon key words, location, etc. (ie. CEO in Greater Atlanta Area). You can find it under 'News' up on the top menu. Is anyone else enamored with this feature?

Comment by Tim Spagnola on March 26, 2012 at 9:45am: It is a great tool

Comment by Ellen Clark on March 26, 2012 at 9:55am: I will give it a try. Thanks

Comment by Doug Schade on March 26, 2012 at 9:56am: It is a great tool. As a long time user of LinkedIn, I can't believe I'm only being exposed to it now.

Comment by Darryl Dioso on March 26, 2012 at 10:28am: Wow, thanks for sharing. It's so good I was reluctant to post and share on Twitter and LinkedIn. (I'm in one of those selfish Monday kind of moods, y'know?)

Comment by Jacob Share on March 26, 2012 at 11:04am: Interesting, kind of like a Facebook news stream

Comment by Angelina Rupert on March 26, 2012 at 1:38pm: I agree. It is a good tool. Also, just as a warning, I have (understandably so) had my "hand slapped" for using the signal section to post descriptions in multiple groups at a time. I only saw the option to post in the general group discussions, and not in the “job discussion” sessions or the groups so I went with. I knew better…I just felt like a rebel at the moment.

Comment by Suzanne Levison on March 26, 2012 at 4:31pm: Thanks for the suggestion~hadn't noticed prior

Comment by Bob McIntosh on March 26, 2012 at 7:58pm: I've used it a couple of times and find it useful finding the comments or articles I shared. As far as I know, the only way to access it is by typing it into the URL field: http://www.linkedin.com/signal/ Does anyone know if it's accessible directly from LI? I'll watch for your answer.
