create and manage events
I only created my LinkedIn account because our major supplier (before they recently got acquired) used LinkedIn to run "round table" type events, and O were often invited to talk about the product.
In the interest of playing nice with the supplier I played along, but it was always a horrible experience. You don't realise how far from "real time" LinkedIn is until you're in a Skype chat, two people are discussing a question and the rest of the room is complaining it hasn't rendered for them yet. Not for seconds.. minutes. Eventually you would end up with statements I made at the end rendering right at the top with people then replying stating they can't understand what I said without any context.
People were obviously interested in using it for these sorts of events but there seemed to be no interest in making it a tolerable experience.
