LinkedIn.com has sent me this mail today-
Dear Andrey,
This is a follow-up to the email we sent on 8/4/08 regarding upcoming changes to LinkedIn Groups. Please note that your action is required by 9/12/08.
We regret to inform you that you have exceeded the limit of the number of groups you are allowed to be a member of. The limit, which applies to all users, is fifty (50) groups per user. We apologize that these limits were not in place earlier, but with upcoming enhancements to Groups, we are forced to put in these limits without exception. We're confident that these improvements to Groups, intended to spur communication and collaboration, will make the product more useful to you on a day-to-day basis.
We need to ask you to please get below the limit of 50 by leaving some of your groups. We have added a quick "Leave Group" link to the My Groups page for each of your groups. If you need assistance because you are significantly above 50 groups, customer support may be able to help streamline the process. Please email groups@linkedin.com for more information. Since this is a timely issue, we will prioritize any email with "Help Removing Groups" in the title until the deadline of 9/12/08.
If you do not take the required action by the deadline, we will automatically limit your membership to the first 50 groups you joined. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes you, but unfortunately we are unable able to maintain the current level of groups.
Regards,
he LinkedIn Team
Well I am not very happy to read this 'coz I was working hard recently in order to identify those 50 most important for me Groups, and now... I risk to lose one of these?
What if the real limit is 49, which is "below 50", but not 50? So do I risk to get cut one random Group? (random= 'coz if their creterion is "the first 50 groups you joined", of course I don't remember which were the first/ the last).
So to all of you:
Pay attention to this notification of LinkedIn!
it's advised to go below 50 with the Groups, because the real limit is probably 49 :)
