Last time, we got the following question tweeted into us:

Beth Boswell with Boswell RE asked, “Is it worthwhile for real estate professionals to use LinkedIn?”
Today’s guest is
Guest: Zack Knight with Knight Protection Services
Bio:
Zack is currently an Infantry Lieutenant and platoon
leader in the United States Army Georgia National
Guard. His time spent in the Army has involved
extensive training in risk assessment and mitigation
techniques that have been proven in the most intense
environments. Prior to joining the Army, Zack spent
seven years serving as a police officer in the Smyrna
community where he grew up. These experiences have
been combined into his company, Knight Protection Services, where
he provides his clients with strategic
security design and tactical leadership applications.
THIS MONTH’S TOPICS ARE:
WSJ: Bloomberg Pays Staffers To Promote His Campaign On Their Personal Social Media $2,500 a month.
The Journal noted that this is the first instance of a presidential candidate paying supporters to promote them on social media. President Donald Trump's campaign team said that while they have staff dedicated to social media promotion, they don't compensate people for posting on their personal accounts.
Facebook says they wish people would say they work for the Bloomberg campaign but do not have to.

FORBES: On CRM: LinkedIn Takes Another Big Step Towards CRM Integration
Recently, the company announced new enhancements to its Sales Navigator tool which promises to "boost pipeline quality and increase sales and marketing efficiencies." The updated tool's CRM Sync capability will now be able to create new contacts (and check for duplicates) in a CRM system using LinkedIn data as well as flag contacts in a CRM system that haven't been updated within 24 hours after changes were made to them in LinkedIn. It will also alert CRM users when a potential "champion" moves to a new company.
First, if you want the integration, you're going to need either Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics.
Next, if you're going to want integration, you're going to have to pay to play. The CRM integration will only work if you have LinkedIn's Sales Navigator which runs about $65 to $135 per month depending on whether you buy it individually or for a team and commit to an annual purchase. Your free LinkedIn account is not going to cut it.
Finally, I doubt there will ever be the “holy grail” of true LinkedIn-CRM integration, where you can search through LinkedIn, identify people with certain characteristics and then suck them into your CRM system for prospecting and lead generation activities.
