Goodbye LinkedIn

Goodbye LinkedIn

I am sure that many of you have found that suddenly you are being bombarded by people asking you to add them to your LinkedIn contacts. Many of my friends and I have. The trouble is that this is all bogus. Fake. It is a scam by LinkedIn.

My beef is more than just dishonesty by LinkedIn trying to make you believe your friends are contacting you. I want to know how in the heck LinkedIn got all my friends' email addresses. Obviously, they are stealing them from my email account. LinkedIn is as dishonest as it is useless. I deleted my account.
