LinkedIn is the worst of social media. Should I delete my account?
As far as social media housekeeping goes, maintaining your LinkedIn is the equivalent of cleaning the cutlery drawers – but is that reason enough not to?
What is LinkedIn good for, beyond spamming strangers? Do people actually get jobs on there?
LinkedIn is that unlikely contradiction: the social network that’s all business. No one’s up late at night checking out their connections’ connections, or who endorsed who and for what. You log in about once a month, you accept the “invitations to connect” from a handful of strangers, and you log out. And you’re sent, on average, 1.75 emails a day for the privilege.
At least that’s about the extent of my own engagement. As far as social media housekeeping goes, maintaining your LinkedIn is the equivalent of cleaning the cutlery drawers, or wiping down lightbulbs
