I loved their recording though… have a safe and happy holiday.

I did call to report that my identity had been stolen and misrepresented on their website. That I have been stalked and currently have a 5 year order for protection, for myself and my children.

Our personal information on a public forum, is not only, not good- it is very dangerous.

Frankly- I hope the VC’s.. lose their money.
Any company that will not post a customer service number- can’t respond to a customer in a couple of days.. let alone weeks. Is just plain going to eventually fail.

These CEO’s- leaders, are the only money makers- short-term gains, for themselves. Just another- smoke and mirrors, internet eventual flop.
Ponzi schemes really.

Anyone can do this- Nice GUI- storage space.
Nothing to it. They were just one of the first, is all. Name recognition.

As for a business networking product. NO- can’t think of anyone who is currently employed and successful, that would want everyone they ever went to college, highschool, had a job. Even wanting their names and contact information listed. “wanna be my friend?”
No- most successful people, have enough friends!

It would be interesting.. to look them up. The board, and the VC’s.. wonder how many people they are friends with.. vouch for.. recommend.

I would bet… even the VC’s investing in this company.. Don’t use it themselves. That is a clue.

Maybe now I’ll finally be able to access my account.

For those predicting the demise of Linkedin, it won’t be so quick (look how long Y! took – even five years ago the magic was long gone). And it probably won’t happen at all , nor does it deserve to– Linkedin is a valuable service with a lot of potential still left, and even amidst the numerous questionable strategy and management changes over the past year, has continued to grow. Maybe not as much as promised (who is?), but with multiple revenue streams and a useful product, the company’s fine for a while. Karma’s a long term type thing.

The real near-term fear is for the Linkedin employees. They’ve already had the opportunity to see how “nasty” Y!-style politicians can be, not to mention useless and self-promoting, but now that the Y! coterie is growing take cover: the worst is yet to come.
