Don't Get LinkedOut

Standing in the endzone stands at Heinz Field during a Steelers pre-season game in an absolute deluge of buckets of rain as others run for cover.  Junior (aka: my 18 year old twin son with a name strikingly similar to mine) is at my side for his very first Steelers game ever.  Priceless.  Cell phone in my pocket is rendered useless by the soaking water and loses all my contact data.  Not so priceless.

Ever lose all your valuable contact info to a failure of technology?

Here's a little hint:  In the event of an unusual loss of your valuable LinkedIn connections data (and it does occasionally, though rarely, happen), don't get soaked.  You can download your LinkedIn connections to an Excel spreadsheet:

1. Click the Contacts tab on your LinkedIn account
2. At bottom of page locate "Export Connections" (very small print)
3. Click Export Connections, and select Microsoft Outlook .CSV
4. Fill in the security letters/numbers and it will allow you to download a spreadsheet list (email addresses included)
5. Smile.

Hey, don't get LinkedOut.

Thanks for the tip, Cindy!

And thank you for sharing 63 seconds of your day,
