1. The Industry Standard says "LinkedIn applications: Too little, too late"

Are we watching the end of Linkedin?

2. LION's Lair. How long will it last? It appears that Christian Maynard is gone. I have not seen any posts or updates on the lists. I don't know how long this URL is registered - but unless this is a free hosting site, I believe we should expect this forum to disappear into an Error 404.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions about keeping the forum alive, please post here.

Grayson,

You pose some interesting points to ponder. I suggest that the alternative to this site be the Yahoo group site because, as you said, the bill for this site should be comming up fast.

As for LinkedIn itself, I'm afraid they've committed social network suside and just don't realize it yet. For me the end became clear the first time I was restricted because of IDKs and reinforced when the site form and function begin to change for the worse. The icing on the cake arrived with the group affiliation limit.

I've downloaded my contact list and intend to keep my network alive in some fashion. we'll just have to see what the future holds. (Please pardon the spelling errors)

Dan Light
