LinkedIn: A $30 Billion Dollar Company Begging for Disruption
Here’s my take on what I’d include, and how I’d go about stealing a piece a small section that very big pie.
LinkedIn is the social network for professionals, supposedly.
I know it’s not just me who think’s it’s terrible. People don’t like LinkedIn, and there have been quite a few calls for a better replacement.
Think about it like this:
Feed = Full of useful information. People sharing genuine experiences and learnings.
DM’s = (Mostly) Useful connections with people who want to engage with you further.
Feed = People boasting/putting forward a facade of themselves/business. “Congrats on your new position!” “Wow, you’re so right.”
DM’s = (Mostly) Random people trying to sell you something.
I only recently started on Twitter, and it has been one of the most valuable things in the last year that I’ve done for my professional career. Sounds dramatic, but a change in perspective is super powerful.
The difference between the two? Twitter let’s you build a tribe.
