Beyond Google+ and other social media sites internal ranking of profiles - it's also smart to selectively build your own EXTERNAL links to your profiles at Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, FriendFeed, Tumblr, YouTube, etc. If content deserves promotion - so does WHO is creating and publishing it as well.

The number one mistake you are making with LinkedIn is the generic use of LinkedIn invitations – invitations and responses to invitations. If you are not leveraging this feature, then you are leaving ‘relationship currency’ on the table. Using LinkedIn invitations is the best way to start, revive or expand your business connections to help you build your social brand. Via Anita Windisman

It could make us more willing to express how we feel. Or you could say it over-simplies our complex moods and lives. But today the Facebook status update box began offering the option to “share how you’re feeling or what you’re doing” through a drop-down menu of emoticons and media. We’re entering a more structured era of communication, where both friends and big data know exactly how we tick.
Facebook began testing the new sharing options in January, but only released screenshots. Now it appears the feature has been given to a much wider audience. It’s likely the beginning of a global or at least US or English language rollout. I’ve contacted Facebook for details. Most mentions I’ve seen of the feature have been from the US, and many note the similarity to an old Myspace mood sharing option. Via Martin Gysler Delete the scoop?
