LinkedIn major bug
- danielharan 13y agoSeems to already be fixed.
- glennreid 13y agoIt's not fixed for me. Two possible caveats: it seems only active for people who are my contacts, and I am a Premium member, which might give me superpowers that not everyone has. But it's definitely still active.
- grannyg00se 13y agoI'm a regular user. I chose to edit contact information for one of my contacts and it looks like it would let me. I didn't click the save button so I'm not sure but there was no indication that it wouldn't have let me update someone else's information. Pretty bad.
- derekrockwell 13y agoIs this part of the 'add your own contact information for this person' functionality? I'm not seeing anything but that. It is a rather strange feature.
- glennreid 13y agoIf you visit Reid Hoffman's page, do you see the "web page" link that I put there? If so, it's a bug at least for some of us :) I'm wondering if it's just Premium users. www.linkedin.com/in/reidhoffman
- glennreid 13y agoI got an anonymous comment on my blog that "You're connected to Reid Hoffman, so you're just editing your personal address book info for him, not his global contact info... This is part of their new "LinkedIn Contacts" / enhanced address book product..." Wow. If that's true, it is very confusing, and may classify as a "major bug" in user experience design :) But it's good that I can't change other people's contact info. I would argue that the entire purpose of an address book like LinkedIn is building is having contact info be maintained by the owner, not by me! That defeats the purpose of it completely. What are the rules of things the owner can edit, and what things I can edit, and what overrides what? Seems like a terrible mis-feature.
