Knocked together a proof of concept LinkedIn App: http://linkedin.heroku.com/ Based on @mbleigh's awesome twitter-auth gem and app template. 7:57 PM Nov 23rd from Tweetie
@ollieparsley http://hootware.com is looking great! 5:45 PM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to ollieparsley
@pperrin Absolutely! Just makes me sad when freelancers undervalue themselves to the point of working harder and earning less than a permi. 2:44 PM Nov 23rd from web in reply to pperrin
@rosiesherry There is value but you need to be able to afford to give it. e.g. You can afford to give the cash equivalent of the discount. 1:29 PM Nov 23rd from web in reply to rosiesherry
@pperrin That sounds high risk to me. Too many freelancers fail to include a good pension, life insurance and savings in their outgoings. 1:17 PM Nov 23rd from web in reply to pperrin
@pperrin Nothing. It is my opinion that someone that does something professionally is someone that sustainably earns what they are worth. 12:18 PM Nov 23rd from web in reply to pperrin
@erocdrahs No. They should be able to take home the same as an employed equivalent in worst case scenario. Any extra is reward for risk. 11:20 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to erocdrahs
LinkedIn is finally opening up their API. This is very good news! :) 11:11 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie
@MoseleyExchange Thanks for the retweet but why change my "more than 1/3" to "less than 1/3"? If less the day rate is not the problem. 11:02 AM Nov 23rd from web in reply to MoseleyExchange
@binarytales I think it is open to all. I'm probably not going to make it though :( 10:54 AM Nov 23rd from web in reply to binarytales
@binarytales /3 because: a) Averaging 1 in 3 working days billable is realistic even in bad times b) You buy your own equipment and benefits 10:50 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to binarytales
@joshr Not sure. I've not done that kind of work before so don't know costs. I will say this though: Contracting != Freelancing 10:40 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to joshr
I am yet to meet a freelancer that doesn't deserve to be earning considerably more than the national average salary. 10:33 AM Nov 23rd from web
(230 working days per year. * £250) / 3 = £19K salary < UK average. If more than 1/3 of your time is billable you should be charging more. 10:31 AM Nov 23rd from web
A thought for National Freelancers Day. If you freelance for less than £250 per day *even for best friends* you are not a professional. 10:12 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie
RT @davestone: #reading @mikekarnj If I Started an Investment Fund http://bit.ly/8WNjUk (via @tdavidson) my recent thinking has been similar 9:58 AM Nov 23rd from web
Likes the look of the Website Owners Manual by Paul Boag - http://bit.ly/284ei - an extremely useful book! (via @ckorhonen) 9:37 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie
