        LinkedIn has been the Facebook you can us at work for a while

        So we agree it was already garbage! Lol

        Honestly I don’t even get it, I have a LinkedIn account that I have updated twice (only when getting ready to change jobs)

        I only keep it because I have heard more than once that " an IT person without a LinkedIn profile is a red flag" which I find completely idiotic but the world we live in is idiotic

        As far as I know, none of the job offers I have received have actually been affected in anyway due to my LinkedIn profile… It has only served to get spam and lame short term contract offers (like I’m leaving my full time job for a 1 year “exiting” contract)

    Just what I want from a platform designed for networking and job seeking: games.

        Yeah, I don’t understand why anyone posts there. LinkedIn is for finding jobs, not actually communicating. You just want to have a network so you have a better chance of having a connection with people who are hiring.

          I can understand event announcements, my job applications are for foo widget builders, so let me know if Foo Widget Con is happening with hiring companies or Foo Widget User Group so we can all get together and share in our pain.

          Outside of that, most posts are meaningless.

      It’s owned by MS. Just to give you a view how important do they think it is, if you’re on Windows press Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift+L on your keyboard.

    What in the hell is this timeline, even. For real.

    Not only are you a sucker for giving them all your personal contacts a la Facebook, but now they can get your gaming info as well? Please fuck off.

    Because what LinkedIn really needed was Xbox ecosystem integration. /s

    I like how they say “LinkedIn” is getting in on gaming when their parent company (Microsoft) fucking owns the god damned Xbox.

    So when are they adding the cringy Farmville-equivalent type games to it? Make sure to help your boss farm their crops or you might risk getting fired! :-)

    Is this going to turn out to be one of those "last starfighter” situations, except it’s about arranging lists of words rather than fighting aliens?
