Has anyone else been prompted by Office 365 to link your profile to your LinkedIn account? I almost went through with it because our internal employee directory is so completely useless and I'm always using LinkedIn to look people up. When I saw that information sharing could go both ways between my personal account and corporate [0], I bailed.
Even without the data sharing, just creating the connection between profiles gives Microsoft information. If they're doing individual-level performance analytics, they could track it from one organization to the next, no?
