Social Question

Anyone else think that LinkedIn has become a big bag of smelliness?

Asked by gmander (1141points) April 18th, 2011

Seems to be filled with social network spammers and the like nowadays. Is appealing to the greatest numbers with a less focussed offering a path to the IPO payday, or is it just a case of taking your eye off the ball?

While I have yet to smell LinkedIn, I don’t think it’s that bad. Although, I don’t use it all that much.

I love LinkedIn, but I think they kind of overdid it with the social integration. Instead of using the #in hashtag to push a tweet to LinkedIn, most folks that I know have opted to push all tweets (including check-ins, badges won, annoying Launchrock posts, etc.) to LinkedIn—it just seems super-inappropriate (not to mention unprofessional) to me.
