92. Why are LinkedIn so secretive?

Quote;

“We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."



[Remarks on the 20th Anniversary of the Voice of America; Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, February 26, 1962]”


― John F. Kennedy

Interview with Peter Gold, LinkedIn Advertising Experiment.



You can listen to the initial interview I did with Peter regarding his LinkedIn advertising experiment in episode 85.


Peter has not had a single click on his adverts as yet but is hoping for more success with sponsored updates.

Excellent post from Itai Leshem about LinkedIn publishing and LinkedIn’s lack of transparency;


Is LinkedIn headed for an Enron style fiasco?


Quotes;


“Truth never damages a cause that is just.”


― Mahatma Gandhi


“There is not a crime, there is not a dodge, there is not a trick, there is not a swindle, there is not a vice which does not live by secrecy.”


― Joseph Pulitzer


I am calling out for LinkedIn to be more transparent and honest!
