Okay. You have the right to think in any way you want. But LinkedIn cannot change their model overnight, it has a stable business and income. Yes, they have many smart people, managers and engineers, and expert shareholders - but their goal

LinkedIn has 1 billion users and generated only 15 billion. Of which only 7 billion from Recruiter premium plans. This is very small amount for the number of users. With the marketplace model they could easily reach 60+ billion, since all u

The marketplace model is suitable both to find candidates and to find leads. Ultimately, it's a perfect model to find people. No matter if it's recruiting or sales or dating or anything else. Pay to view the exact profile you want

I've used both Recruiter and Sales plans. Both are shit with no valuable features. The price is too high. But the question is - why can't you contact people and make sales stuff, if it was a marketplace? The feed will be open. Onl

Other implications: 1) the platform will not push everyone to activate premium subscription; 2) users will promote their profiles to earn more, eventually covering marketing costs

It's possible to implement some down-vote feature, if you see a profile that doesn't match expectations. A user with many down-votes can be banned and alll payments will be returned.

What if they make some basic info visible? E.g. role, company, and university. Similar to those headlines.

What if they connect the amount paid to the years of experience? For example, you pay less to view a student's profile and more for a top professional.

The weights to the parameters are also always changing. But slightly. This is where AI comes into play.

By the way, the scores are always growing, because one of the main parameters in some activities is duration. Especially in regular employment. The more you work in one company, the higher is the score for this activity. But there are also

Interestingly, most users try to provide as much information as possible, to increase the score and grow higher in rankings. Then, other users try to catch up. The system basically regulates itself. When all activities are added by all user

Thanks, good point. I've read the rules and decided not to add, since I don't provide a link. The system is currently closed due to budget constraints. In short, I've build the entire database with weights and formulas built-

Just a dozen of lessons I learned from several startups. Cannot name them “valuable”, they are just lessons, nothing more. I’ve read some books of other founders, listened to some interviews, and hopefully you can read something new here. T

Let's forget about OLE/OpenDoc implemetaions, since they really limit our view. I'm talking about the interface only. The change in the interface that removes borders around files and programs. So that you work on two differe

Another example: Suppose you work on a research and you have 10 different .doc files. Currently, you need to open 10 separate windows/tabs. Can we have 10 different files all stacked together in one window/tab? I think it will dra

Stage Manager is just another way to arrange windows. Here, I'm talking about removing windows. Windows are just borders to work with files. Can we have just files and functions?

I like the Office app where you have Word, Excel, and PowerPoint in one program. But still you need to open files in different windows/tabs. Is it possible to make files open in the same window/tab? So that you can work on two dif

And you will clearly see the difference between "function bars" of different programs. For example, Microsoft and Adobe have different UI language. You will have different files open on the screen, different function bars around,

When it comes to programs that work with files (such as Word or Adobe Illustrator), the window is just a border around the file. It doesn't have any other purpose. I think of it as barriers to the workflow. I have to arrange windows on

You are absolutely right. For example, I use laptop with Windows and 150% scaling. Otherwise the default scaling is 200% and everything looks so big.

Okay, browsers, games, Excel, Calculator, and other type of programs obviously need some "window". But Calculator can be actualy made as a "function bar" that works with any other program.

Another example: When I open two .doc files, I can only have two separate windows or tabs. But I don't need those windows or tabs. What I actually need is just two open files on the screen. And some Word functions. From UI perspective,
