Should I only smile at the(funny?) situation, or already to smile through my tears... but probably this already means THE END of the era of Social Business Networking on-line?
I do not know how it's for you, but from my point of view LinkedIN is making probably one of the biggest strategical mistakes in the life of this Project... They will be loosing their reputation of "Business" and "High-Profile" Network :(
And I am not surprised at all about that people start using LinkedIN in un-proper way(there is no more strong belief to "trusted connection" concept), as by the recent article of Michael...
Sure! If LinkedIN is now broadcasting its existence to the whole world via Google-ads... and just few years ago LD was a Network for privileged people, high-profile people, and we were proud to earn one more "strong" connection !!! Now it's different, and I am really sorry of that.
Well, it's just once again confirms me that there is no good business model for the on-line Business Networks. I hope Ecademy will find one good, they're now CLOSING the Network for "just curious", forcing you buy the "middle" package immediately, instead of their famous "Green Star" membership in the past. See this my article about Ecademy's tactical movement.
