How are you all feeling about LinkedIn? I've always felt like it was a bit cringe but it really is taking off a bit lately. I fear I'm going to have to fully embrace it as a platform now. It actually is kind of good.

It's interesting to see that it might be coming back. I got fed up with all the log rolling and backslapping and absolute zeroes trying to position themselves as influencers and thought leaders. When someone I know and follow posts something I'll get an email notification, and I'll go to check that out. But maybe I should spend a little more time seeing what's it like these days, I've been pretty much checked out of it.

Yeah there is definitely some really low level "thought leadership" on there but if you can find the right people there really are some gems of wisdom.

I'm a little embarrassed for not knowing, but is LinkedIn actually taking off again? The last I knew it died down and most members of our office are no longer active on there. Curious if this is something we should be updating.

I fear it really is taking off. Especially so since Elon bought Twitter. It seems like a lot of professionals have gravitated over there.

I like it a lot. It’s a little cheesy at times, but the visibility and connections are real. I landed my last role because of a comment I left. If you’re gonna be online, might as well use it to your advantage. I changed my Instagram to my LinkedIn account, and it has been created to connect and find opportunities.

It's definitely cheesy but I guess if it works...

Is probably my favorite social media of all of them. It's the one I get the most out of and irritates me the least, lol. I agree, it's gotten a little bit better over the last year.

I mean... it's hard not to be irritated on social media these day. I'll take a site that "irritates me the least" as a barometer.

Agreed. It seems to be making a comeback. I do think the discourse around LinkedIn pushing content creators is really interesting too. They seem to really be focusing more on growing as a platform with video

YES video over there seems to really be taking off.
