I have spent the last three hours trying to send Bugg’s, ( Yahoo Questions and Answer ) a question by e-mail, but typical of the stupidity that is so prevalent in the cyberworld none was found.

I am leaning towards dissolving my 1,900 member group on LinkedIn. LinkedIn wants to have it both ways here. They want Group Managers to attract new members and to create added value for LinkedIn users but are unwilling to provide anything in return. Not even meaningful way to manage the bloody groups. LinkedIn is playing with fire here. No wonder competition is springing up everywhere.

This goes on to show you have to plan for greatness, plan for success. Assume everybody will want to use your site/features and design for it. If you build it so you have to take away privileges from users to keep your site from breaking thats bad. If they started with the 50 group restriction nobody would have noticed I think. Personally the whole concept of zillions of connections and memberships in random groups doesn’t make sense to me.

Особенно проблема коснулась тех, кто управляет массивами пользователей в тематических группах LinkedIn. Подробнее о проблеме. [...]

Beyond a group problem, LI has a real identity problem. What is it? It is a recruiting company. That is it. Ironically, it’s ( LI’s) recruiting function is lurking around in the stone age, run by the same “business as usual”, housewife recruiting managers that have failed at countless other companies.

I manage a few groups on LinkedIn. In their defence, most of the issues raised in the article are not bugs, but just missing / taken away features. The only true bug I’ve encountered is one where incorrect counts of pending member requests show up. It seems like they might have a database replication problem or something. Anyway, I’m as disappointed as anyone about them not having threaded discussion forums, but let’s call features features and bugs bugs.

It is indeed strange that LinkedIn released a buggy version of Groups in the first place. It’s not that they are a start up anymore and with their massive financial backing and resources they should be able to catch that before release.

They’ve definitely taken ‘power’ from the people, in the worst possible way… ever since the update I found it to be a nightmare to manage my group. The system says I have x applications pending but when I go to approve them I find nothing. However, when I do find applications, they seem to be forever stuck in the approval bin and won’t disappear once member is approved. No reply to support tickets.
