The Silencing of the LinkedIn Lambs

Did you know that changing jobs and updating your LinkedIn profile to reflect your new employer's name, your new title, or your new contact information is tantamount to breaching non-solicitation clauses in your Restraint of Trade?

Facebook has been in the news rather a lot lately as various corners of the media, communications, business and financial worlds get increasingly frenzied about today's Initial Public Offering.
