I agree with what William Arruda says about LinkedIn and the direction it is going here: Is LinkedIn Poised To Be The Next Media Giant?
So the big question is, combine this direction with the changes LinkedIn has made that make it less of a networking tool... and where is it ...

Check out this really cool write-up on Growth Hackers about LinkedIn... tons of interesting stuff:
LinkedIn Growth Engine: The Never Ending Viral Loop
The comments are pretty insightful, too.
This is, in my opinion, the Great American Dream playing out in real life. The cool thing is that the Internet makes this anyone's ...

So LinkedIn is not discontinuing this feature, but it's weakening it. Note: if you don't use gmail, don't worry about this :)
I guess it was inevitable that LinkedIn would put up high walls around Rapportive's functionality, and cut off other systems. Kind of a play from the 1990's, imo.
Oh well, ...

So a "competitor" to JibberJobber, LinkedIn's CRM, got "retired.' Actually, it just got a name change, as far as I can tell, a natural evolution of features.
It's an interesting twist, taking CRM to the next level. Applying the AI to CRM isn't necessarily new, but it's cool in this case ...

Oh yeah. This happened.
What does this mean for you?
From what I remember, the growth is not coming from the US, but from India, Brazil and other countries that might not give you any value. But, the world is flat, so I guess this is all good, right?

This is awesome, awesome, awesome.
I remember seeing some features in Slideshare, specifically the one where you could put a poll at the end of a presentation, and wanting it. Alas, it was what the rich kids could get, not a no name like me.
Looks like they are going to do ...

Here's an article that has a supposedly confidential and leaked document laying out plans for LinkedIn to go to the next level: $1B
In a nutshell, it's all about selling more ads. It's a big, big pie, and LinkedIn wants a bigger slice.
I don't think it's really that interesting, it just ...

Check out this Buzzfeed article: LinkedIn Slashes Referral Traffic To Publishers
This means that LinkedIn used to send their users to other sites to read content, but it looks like LinkedIn is keeping it's users/members inside of LinkedIn, not sending them out at all (or at least, a lot less than ...

Can you trust LinkedIn?
Read this post from Mr. LinkedIn: This Is Why LinkedIn Should Never ‘Retire’ A Feature
I totally agree with Mark. How can we continue to use a system if they keep removing features? Especially if the features are something I build (by adding my content, like a CRM ...
