This is a devastating and dead-on accurate deconstruction of LinkedIn. "Reduced to its simplest form, LinkedIn is a digital resume," writes Fadeke Adegbuyi. "But we've long decided that there are better ways to showcase your ability... Developers have GitHub, designers use Dribbble, and Academics maintain their ResearchGate or Google Scholar profiles." The result is that LinkedIn has become a contradiction. Yet we use it because somehow we feel like we have to. "LinkedIn is bizarre because it tries to make this hostage situation fun. Even though it's not." Via Doug Belshaw.
