To succeed, Microsoft needs to make LinkedIn the anti-Facebook in terms of content, usefulness and trust. So far, this does not seem to be the case. I see fake profiles, click bait, flamewars, and ever-present recruiter spam.
It isn't Microsoft's fault, per se. It's a hard problem.
- webdood90 8y agoIt's amazing how bad the content has become. It feels the same as Facebook, if not worse. Sometimes I'll log on just to "people watch", but that's about the extent of my usage.
- intopieces 8y agoYes, my naive assumption was that if people presented their real names and their jobs in the same place, the discussion would be more civil — aren’t we in the era where people lose their jobs for Twitter rants? - but the negative content persists to the point that people are making memes(!) to push the idea of making LinkedIn more civil. Strange times.
- lallysingh 8y agoFor high quality content, usefulness, and trust, you need curation. Full stop. Unless they plan on doing that, they can't pretend like they either have it or will have it.
- intopieces 8y agoI agree, but curation is often considered censorship, which results in negative press.
