Sneaky LinkedIn endorcement feature

[Churchill]

I've deleted my profile from LinkedIn, got sick of agents wanting to be my friend.

Do you want to endorce advertisers without knowing it?

No, me neither.

Thats a little out of date now Cojak. They have already tweaked it so that is no longer uses names or pictures in the ad's, it just references the number of people in your network who follow the advertised item.

I've still turned it off, but it's not as bad as the original version.

LinkedIn Blog post on the changes here:

Good shout Cojak, just updated my settings the cheeky f****rs!

I'm registered with LinkedIn but I just can't be arsed with it.

Is it like a professional version of FaceBook?

[cojak]

I'm sure that won't be the end of this kind of thing either.

Thanks. The minute linkedin floated I knew the priorities of the users would be exploited.
