Is LinkedIn even a social network? Everyone I know uses it as basically a resume hosting site. I don't know of anyone who uses it for actually doing anything 'social' - just career related things.
- PakG1 12y agoI saw a meme post today. Bunch of people liked it. It said, "LinkedIn is not Facebook. Please stop posting silly brainteasers, what you ate, and so on." Or something to that effect. I think the HN crowd wouldn't really care for its social aspects because the HN crowd's professional online social needs are more satisfied by the likes of HN, Github, Stackoverflow, and so on. However, I see a lot of professional discussions on there for people of other career paths.
