LinkedIn plans to add gaming to its platform
LinkedIn, the Microsoft-owned social platform, has made a name for itself primarily as a platform for people looking to network and pick up knowledge for

I don’t think LinkedIn understands what they are anymore
Seeing how some users already interpret is as a dating app ... they're not the only ones
Just .. what?!?
Imagine the type of people that both think of and respond to linked-in advances.
Do you have a resume? Wink
LinkedIn reminds me of that scene in Men in Black where they discover a weird little society living inside a locker. But instead of a locker, it's a job board.
With a large adult section in the back!
How large are we talking? 6' and larger or some gargantuan 7 footers?
LinkedIn has become business-casual facebook.
Yeah, I'd agree with that. For a few years it worked well for me, just had to block tons of accounts to be left with just news and posts of my field of work.
Then like half a year ago or so that stopped working. Now its just trash like everything else.
I immediately unfollow and report anyone posting garbage that should stay on Facebook
Already seeing many using it as a Tumblr/Twitter replacement where they share shower thoughts unprompted. It's really odd.
EITHER:
- they are incompetent, & not understanding Branding, at all ( read the books of Al Ries on Branding, Marketing, Focus, etc, and that book on Focus is the core of why LinkedIn is now hosed )
XOR:
- somebody in upper-management there is a trojan, the same as Steve Ballmer got a trojan into Nokia, as a means of harvesting all sorts of patent-rights while destroying Nokia ( what Citadel & Boston Consulting Group did to Sears is the same, except that Citadel was shorting it, instead of getting a sea of patent-licenses )
( well, OK, the combination of both is actually-possible, but less-likely? )
In either case, what they're doing, besides Microsofting the joint, ( the verb "to Microsoft" means to highjack/trojan/enshittify/rot-all-value-from a company through partial/total ownership ), is they are making-certain that whatever competitor should appear on the horizon, Microsoft is stacking-odds FOR that competitor, against LinkedIn.
Same as how MySpace made certain that people disliked it enough to suddenly-jump-ship when Facebook came around..
Anti-strategy.
CORE Anti-strategy.
We evidently haven't figured-out how to test for strategic intelligence, yet, as it obviously has nothing, whatsoever, to do with SAT++.
