LinkedIn Contractdicts Itself
(Click thumbnail for a larger image.)
I'm a fan of LinkedIn.
So I was surprised to log in tonight and see one of the stupidest promotional blurbs I've seen in a while. I'm told that:
You have no new opportunities — users with at least 10 connections and complete profiles are 40 times more likely to receive opportunities.
An impressive statistic and compelling reason to get more connections and complete my profile. But less than an inch to the right of this, I'm told I have 16 connections. And my profile is pretty complete.
I appreciated the tip, but how hard would it be to only show that message to relevant users?
