How about "ALoadOfOldPap.com"?

so my new business idea, promted by vast numbers of people i know to be lying on linkedin is a more realistic warts and all version, called say real-linkedin (the name would need to change to something snappier, any ideas)

for a start stuff thats easily proven like accademic qualifications must be backed up by a pdf of the certificate on the site

for two anybody can post "recommendations" or "realisitic versions of what this person actually did during this period" and the guilty party cannot veto them... so people claimined to have been "head of..." when actually just in the pool of workers, or "deputy cxo..." when not, or "leader of..." can all be challenged by the people who actually were there

etc

also two seperate contacts lists, those you know and trust, and agents and everyone else who wants to contact you, and they dont get to see which list they are in

any other improvements to linkedin needed?

How about "disconnected-out"?

I know I have a degree certificate somewhere. I graduated in 1993 and haven't seen it since then....

Mine's on the wall, but then it's about the only certificate I've got other than a teddy-bear 5m swimming certificate which I'm sure was lost decades ago. If I ever find that, I'd love to frame it just to see peoples' reactions.
