New LinkedIn Group Issues
LinkedIn just changed (translation: “broke”) many things about LinkedIn Groups
*** end quote ***
Unfortunately, when LinkedIn went for the big buxs, it showed the Leadership’s true colors. It tells you a lot about people. How do they follow their principles. I’ve become unenamoured with LinkedIn over the years. When they were struggling for traction, it was come one and come all. Then, they got testy with the super connectors. Then, they got testy with me, even though I am a paying customer, not a super connector, and not an open networker. Then, the final straw, they lawyered up on Vincent Wright, one of their early and most popular “champions”. He did more support then they did … for free. He single handly did more to keep their start ont he rise than they did. He finally got disgusted.
The LinkedIn folks better hop that no comptitor targets them. I think they’ll be lunch. No one is suggesting that they don’t have the right to make their rules. But, a little openness, gratitude, and appreciation of why they got all those big buxs.
It wasn’t them. It was all the Vincent Wrights, and a grazillion little people.
Where is the competition?
