Anyone else feels like linkedin is becoming a professional Facebook? I see more posts from people about changing jobs, attending conferences and self-‘promoting. Perhaps this is what LinkedIn is for ?

Every time I check LinkedIn in I am reminded why I don’t like it. Every post on there is just people patting themselves on the back. Or there’s the typical “I am pleased to announce that I will be starting X job at X company this fall. I can’t wait for the opportunity this will bring.”

Microsoft’s board told Satya Nadella that his future compensation would be tied to LinkedIn’s performance, so maybe we’re seeing some of that now?

I have stopped watching my Linkedin, Facebook, whatsapp feeds. All these were great early on. Now, I do not need to hear how great your company is or how great your vacation was. I haven't logged on to Facebook in a year. Fishbowl gives me more unfiltered and curated responses (albeit sometime funny ones).
