Turn you LinkedIn profile into a video CV

Yeasterday I went to a lecture about online marketing by Abelone Glahn and she show this very nice tool of turning your LinkedIn profile into an online video CV.

Tool: http://varldensbastacv.ledarna.se/

1. You start with changing language to english at the top right corne or continue with Swedish.
2. Connect your linkedIn profile with the tool and let it generate a draft video
3. See you first Video CV and learn how it usage your profile. Make note of strange verbal translations of your text pcitures and order of things. My name was to long eg. Kasper Kronmann Nielsen and I changed it to Kasper Nielsen to get a better flow.
4. Now you are ready to fine tune the video, right click on the video and select edit, the text and information used by the application are now able to be edited.

Tips:
Do not use / : in company names or other places. IT should be replaced by Information Technology as it is spelled out better. Select the pictures that represent the education or event best.

If you for fun would like to make a presentation of a friend or family member you need to make it the hard way and do it manually typing all.

Please feel free to ad good tips.

NEW UPDATE 11-2-2013
I found out that you could take the code out of the Facebook sharing option and make your CV even better visual with a new link created inside the code.
See the result here

You need to go into the facebook update and view source. Here you then look for a link like above and test out if that was it. I had 3 in the code and it was the last one that gave the result wanted.
After getting this you can use bit.ly to make a short url to cirkulate. eg. http://bit.ly/WF15Nn
