LinkedOut

About the only person that gets excited about an odometer of a car clicking over to 100,000 kilometers is a ten year old boy.

Just staring at the thing when it is at 99,999 and not willing to miss the big transition; it’s a very fleeting pleasure indeed, not usually shared by the owner of the rapidly depreciating car.

In the same vein I noticed the other day that I was on 999 Linkedin connections. When the 1000th connection request came in I noticed something very odd.

The “number of professionals in your network” had shrunk substantially – see the pictures below. And where was the expected “congratulations you have a thousand connections, etc etc” message?

That mob at Linkedin are asleep at the wheel.
