I often include a link to my profile in emails with the idea that if the person has or cares about it, they can see recommendations. If not, well, then hopefully it doesn't matter to them and it's not a negative. A few people have commented on it positively, not many. The vast majority seem oblivious. That's not overly surprising considering how many people in TV news seem to not be overly "techy".

Usually something small, like: Here is my LinkedIn profile, with recommendations from previous coworkers: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jwbridges

(I know, I need to re-write that summary pretty bad.) The only thing that leaves me scratching my head is that my profile is stuck at 90%. It asks me to fill in my current position, and describe my current position. I don't have one. You'd think a site focused around looking for jobs would have that as an option.
