BlogLink by TypedPad pulls in blog posts from any blogs you’ve defined in your LinkedIn profile’s Websites section. The posts are displayed directly from each blog’s RSS feed, initially with just an excerpt and a ‘read more’ link. ( Let’s readers know you’re a thought leader, or interesting or humorous of whatever your unique skill is.)

Reading List by Amazon lets you keep track and show which books you’ve read, are reading, planning to read or would like to read. You can also find people with similar tastes (industry leaders? potential bosses?) and subscribe to follow their Reading List and discover which books you should be reading. Can you imagine coming to a job interview and spooking the interviewer by saying you’re reading the same book as they are? ( Again, you can give your take on a book and weave in your areas of expertise.)

My Travel by TripIt is a geographic locator tool giving you an easy way to see which of your connections is physically nearby or will be soon. ( I think this is really a cool tool and can help  faciliate your networking.  You can let everyone know where you’ll be, with great ease, and ask if any in your farflung network havev recommendations or want to meet up with you.)
