Is all fair in love, war and social media marketing?

I'll go out on a limb and say that we're all on LinkedIn. The degree we utilize it may be different, but I'd say we all have an account.

For the past six months or so there has been a raging debate on what is or isn't professional on LinkedIn and what you can and can't do.

Seems a little bizarre, but people are opinionated! It would seem, with the exception of behavior which is really out of the box, such as libel, profanity and flaming (I think that word is no longer in vogue), anything should go.

Now, and here comes the tricky part, there are those that insist on posting material that is offensive to some and acceptable to others. The funny thing is, what I might find offensive, you don't. Strange world we live in.... Posts about drugs, sex,religion, rock and roll, management, accounting, jobs, paid advertisement, unpaid advertisements, people looking for work, people looking for employees, silly questions, no-so silly questions and the list of items goes on and on and on....

Now to the quandary... Has anyone been following the Bikini Luxe debate? Talk about people with strong opinions for and against.

Talk about one smart young lady!

So here's the question: Do you think what's she is doing on LinkedIn is professional?

And, notwithstanding your prior answer, do you think it is smart marketing?
