She and Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and John McCain are all LinkedIn members and have been since before the campaign. I actually connected to Obama and McCain mid-year last year. Hilary and Sarah Palin did not respond.
Take a closer look LinkedIn people. I see 4 profiles, although only 2 really look like they are her own doing (and on purpose). This puts her in direct violation of the LinkedIn End User License Agreement that permits only 1 LinkedIn profile per individual. Barack has 1, McCain has 1, Hilary has 1, we all can have only 1.
Rather than change the old one, why not just start a new one? Do you think she understands this stuff (or do you think her publicist understands this “LinkedIn stuff”? Apparently not.
She is still a nominee according to one profile as you can see. Her entire Summary – “My fellow Americans, come join our cause. Join our cause and help our country to elect a great man the next president of the United States. And I thank you, and I — God bless you, I say, and God bless America. Thank you.” She list this as her current position – Vice Presidential Nominee at John McCain 2008.

Now for the Other Sarah Palin. She is listed as having no job – true I suppose, although her NEW custom URL implies she is still governor. Her Headline is simply a repeat of her name.

I cover all these IMPORTANT nuances in my upcoming book entitled Rock the World with your online presence that dives very deep (150 pages) into LinkedIn profiles. Our clients do not have these problems. Want to be one?
Will this “exception” slip through unnoticed? Not with this post.
Now for the REST of the story (the original story that caused my investigation).
