Title: Closing a Linkedin Account
Post by: JimH on May 09, 2011, 10:36:10 am

I closed my Linkedin account today.  I never found it very useful and they've begun to be more aggressive in mailing me. 

Here's how:

I quit Facebook last week.  The general buzz about social networking was beginning to be annoying.

So I'm free at last.

Maybe If We Were 15 Years Old It May Be Fun.

I think I'm going to close my LinkedIn account too... I never use the thing, and they spam me with all sorts of "add me" requests and stuff.  I'm sure I could turn it off, but... meh.  No real use for it.

Facebook can be useful, such as it is.  (Flipboard makes Twitter and Facebook MUCH more useful, by the way.)  I do think its popularity amongst the "young crowd" is already starting to wane (that happens when their parents show up), which is never a good sign.  But it is good for organizing Happy Hour outings after work and things like that, and for staying in touch with long-lost friends, it does the job.
