LinkedIn recommendations…my oh my. LinkedIn is one of the many social media websites taking over the internet. LinkedIn serves many relevant purposes:
- Business Networking
- Re-connecting with work colleagues
- Providing Company Information
- Creating Target Lists for your business
- Recommending other people
In my humble opinion LinkedIn recommendations are one of the few things that devalue the site. I’ve seen people who couldn’t clean a white board with a wet towel receive multiple glowing reviews on the site. The sad thing about it is this…people use this trash to make hiring and promotion decisions.
I think LinkedIn should remove recommendations from the site altogether. They add no value and a good portion of them are flat out lies.
