I want a better linkedin.com
Linkedin.com is a business social network, which I like because it’s not very noisy. I mainly use it as a great tool to maintain business contacts. The best part is that my contacts maintain their own records, saving my time. If someone changes their email address or job, I can easily find it the latest information with one click.
If you are on linkedin, you also know that some folks use it for marketing purposes and they have tens of thousands of contacts. These folks tend to send connection invitation to every email address they can put their hands on. And I don’t accept those invitations (my network includes only people that I’ve communicated with or met in person).
The problem is that I can’t decline those invitations in “bulk mode”, instead I have to go through each invitation and click several times before the invitation gets killed. I’ve contacted the support group a few times about this issue, but they don’t do anything about it.
Hopefully if enough people join my request, they will improve that part of the service.
Update: Jan 2008: Great news - linkedin.com just implemented that feature! Thanks to everybody who voted on the proposal!
