I don’t think LinkedIn understands what they are anymore

flamingo_pinyata ,

Seeing how some users already interpret is as a dating app … they’re not the only ones

Just … what?!?

aniki ,

Imagine the type of people that both think of and respond to linked-in advances.

Do you have a resume? Wink

LinkedIn reminds me of that scene in Men in Black where they discover a weird little society living inside a locker. But instead of a locker, it’s a job board.

XTL ,

With a large adult section in the back!

ShepherdPie ,

How large are we talking? 6’ and larger or some gargantuan 7 footers?

CosmoNova ,

Already seeing many using it as a Tumblr/Twitter replacement where they share shower thoughts unprompted. It’s really odd.

LinkedIn has become business-casual facebook.

Yeah, I’d agree with that. For a few years it worked well for me, just had to block tons of accounts to be left with just news and posts of my field of work.

Then like half a year ago or so that stopped working. Now its just trash like everything else.

I immediately unfollow and report anyone posting garbage that should stay on Facebook

Paragone ,

EITHER:

  • they are incompetent, & not understanding Branding, at all ( read the books of Al Ries on Branding, Marketing, Focus, etc, and that book on Focus is the core of why LinkedIn is now hosed )

XOR:

  • somebody in upper-management there is a trojan, the same as Steve Ballmer got a trojan into Nokia, as a means of harvesting all sorts of patent-rights while destroying Nokia ( what Citadel & Boston Consulting Group did to Sears is the same, except that Citadel was shorting it, instead of getting a sea of patent-licenses )

( well, OK, the combination of both is actually-possible, but less-likely? )

In either case, what they’re doing, besides Microsofting the joint, ( the verb “to Microsoft” means to highjack/trojan/enshittify/rot-all-value-from a company through partial/total ownership ), is they are making-certain that whatever competitor should appear on the horizon, Microsoft is stacking-odds FOR that competitor, against LinkedIn.

Same as how MySpace made certain that people disliked it enough to suddenly-jump-ship when Facebook came around…

Anti-strategy.

CORE Anti-strategy.

We evidently haven’t figured-out how to test for strategic intelligence, yet, as it obviously has nothing, whatsoever, to do with SAT++.

It’s all crypto games, isn’t it?

Doompickaxe ,

Or team building games

Holy shit! no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, crypto games are good! Actually, crypto games are the best!!

Opisek ,

Crypto team-building games it is.

Sorry prospective employers, I’m not falling for that

What the fuck, why?

I’m so tired of LinkedIn already, I don’t want people messaging me “Let’s play 8-ball!”

NotSteve_ ,

Please visit my farm in FarmVille!

Good_morning ,

Crap, I forgot to visit my boss’s farm, and I need to come up with a good scrabble word so that recruiter takes me seriously! And I didn’t post a motivational quote yesterday!?
