Hello Sara: Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me and the three or four persons who follow my blog.
To be fair, I would like to say that I have just started to do real networking since I started a Group. Almost 100 persons (CIOs most of them) have joined so far I don’t neccesarily know everybody. The group is just starting and there are already some discussions going on and people began helping each other answering requests from other members. Maybe you should try one before quitting. Thanks again and keep in touch

So this is how we found out that LinkedIn doesn’t know what they’re doing.

When we joined, we thought it’s for networking, right? Simple enough. After getting invitations from people we didn’t know and also inviting people we didn’t know, our accounts were placed on block! They actually “force” you to sign an agreement online to not send invitations to people you don’t know!

Excuse me? Is this a joke? The whole point of LinkedIn is to network and expand your network! How can you do that if you only contact the people you already know? What a bunch of morons. They don’t even know what their company is about.

If I just want to network with people I already know, then it’s not really networking, is it? I already have all the e-mails and phone numbers of the people I know, why does anyone need linkedin for people they already know?

LinkedIn really needs to figure out what they stand for, because as of now, they’re completely confused and they confuse their customers too. They want to stand for something, which is to allow people to network, yet they block almost everyone who contacts snobs who don’t want to accept invites.

Here’s a clue LinkedIn, perhaps you should have a better system of telling those snobs to set up their account in a way that only people who know their e-mail addresses can send them invites and “require it” for those people, instead of punishing customers who are actually there to network!

LinkedIn is a joke. It’s definitely not for networking. LinkedIn doesn’t know the meaning of networking. It’s another facebook. It only pretends to be for professionals.

Now, with the group limitations (only allowed to join 50 groups and only allowed to start 10 groups) Linkedin has destroyed over 2 years of my hard work. I managed 50 groups and with one bold stroke, eliminated 40 of them without even asking me.

I’m done with this screwed up site. No customer service, no business sense, Fuck you Linkedin!
