Finally decided to go with "Carnegie Mellon Student | Marketing Consultant | Expertise in SEO, Web Design, Social Media, Print Design, and Copywriting".

I think I'm gonna attack my Twitter bio, too. It's short and sweet, but could definitely be improved with a variation on my LinkedIn headline.

Thanks again for the great post!

Keith, 100% agree. I meant to make your point clear by saying “those you know well/want to know better.” What I aimed to get across was that I bet there are folks out there that people know but aren't connected to, and they shouldn't be shy to send the invitation. Thanks for keeping me on my toes!

Great tips, however I may disagree (or clarify) to an extent with point #1. Yes, it is great to connect with others but if someone ping's you asking about a person in your network and you are not familiar with them and cannot provide a valuable response – that reflect negatively on you and your network. LIONs (LinkedIn Open Networkers) are fine and have their place, but not everyone should go this route. Agreed, the larger a network the more powerful it becomes, but if you choose to openly invite others – don't loose the personal touch and continue to develop relationships.
