SWAM on LinkedIn is "Site-Wide Automated Moderating." Fancy name, huh? Here's what it means. If one LinkedIn Group admin decides you need to be "blocked and deleted," then you just lost ability to participate in Group discussions EVERYWHERE on LinkedIn's ...

I have gotten about a dozen emails from LinkedIn like this:
I don't know about you but this BUGS me. I've held off on writing about it because previous posts might have sounded too jaded (who me? passionate? :p)

I'm in "LinkedIn Group Mode" since I was recently invited to co-manage a Group with over 30,000 members.
The first task on my list is the #1 task of any Group admin, which is to plan the weekly (if you can) "Group Announcements." This is perhaps the most compelling reason you ...
