I completely agree that this person should have been more forthcoming about their own affiliation.
I think there are definitely issues with LinkedIn though.
What I don't like about LinkedIn is how scammy it feels. They've tried to get me to enter my e-mail password in the past so they could get all my contacts... No thanks. Then there's the issue of being contacted by recruiters all the time even though I have my profile set to not looking for a job. I also wish there was a way to also say "not willing to relocate" (is there?).
Lastly, I think the website could be more streamlined/simplified and better looking. That pic she posted from the LinkedIn interface in 2003. I like it better than the way the website looks now. So simple and straightforward.
IMO, LinkedIn is "ripe for disruption". It's coasting on the network effect. The network effect is a powerful thing, but it didn't stop MySpace from getting killed despite its 100 million users.
