Latest aberration from LinkedIn: I received this stupid message:
Dear Francois E.,

As an active member of LinkedIn Groups, we wanted to let you know about some changes we're putting in place in the coming weeks.

We are in the process of adding new functionality to enhance the experience of Groups, including the recent release of a searchable directory. We are also working with our development teams to bring new tools and widgets to this collaborative space throughout the rest of 2008.

We are also at this time making some changes to the user-created groups we host. These changes include adding a limit to the number of user-created groups any LinkedIn member may be part of at one time. Currently we are setting that limit at membership in 50 (fifty) user-created groups...

In other words, they are asking me to quit from more than 150 groups...

I don't think I'll do that, so they will kick me out of them. What's your approach to this?

Same here. At least I only have 61 groups. But most aren't helping me in my networking. I'll just be adding and removing groups more often.

I think I'll fill out my "Interests" section a bit better.

It's no more than I expect from LI these days.

Regards

Paul

I have over 800 groups and have not received a email yet

I must admit that I have 1809 groups. (I'm a "super-groupie" b/c you can contact fellow group members via InMail rather than wait for the long and often unsuccessful LinkedIn introduction process.)

How in the world am I supposed to remove myself from 1759 groups within the next 10 days? Aye, aye, aye...

Paul,
My network growth a lot through networks. Actually I almost never invite people, they do as group members...

Stacey,
Don't I made a pdf of my groups, for reference. But I will put things in order only once they have kicked me out of the 150+ groups they wish to...
Francois

Can you rejoin a group once you've been booted out of it? I'm pretty sure that you're forever banned if you are removed from a group....

This is a d--- good point!

OK, I could leave one and then re-join...

Hello Everyone,

I have gotten the e-mail. I di
