Hooray! Another Content Powerhouse... Play! (sigh)

"... signalling another step by the massive professional network toward becoming an online content powerhouse."
                                         (click to read article at All Things D)

I'm not so certain that I (me, personally, me, as an avid and passionate Linked USER...) That is USER, not READER of Linkedin. Am I really all that happy with this development? Oh, I'm sure the ad sales team is happy, but honestly, over the last few months it has become harder and harder (OK, not really that hard) to find what it is I adore(d) about Linkedin...

For me and my daily, hourly constant USAGE of social, Linkedin has always been more than just a job board... "...move by LinkedIn to expand beyond being just a static resume service for recruiters and professionals." - Sure I scour the job posting, but just as much so to get a sense of what companies are planning by who they are looking to hire... But really, and most importantly, Linkedin is the nuance behind my contact management system.

How many times have you studied the profiles of the folks you were just about to step into a meeting with; when was the last time you didn't?

“We believe LinkedIn can be the definitive professional publishing platform — where all professionals come to consume content and where publishers come to share their content,”
                                                     LinkedIn SVP of product and user experience, Deep Nishar

Do I need another "definitive professional publishing platform"... Do I need Linkedin to consolidate all the things I'm already reading easily finding and consolidating on Scoop.it, Paper.li and Flipboard? - OR do I need a place to store and interact with... nuances?

Drama aside... the sky is not falling, and I guess Linkedin needs the revenue that this content (content, content and MORE content play) will generate; (over and above the fiddy bucks I give 'em each month). Have at it ad-boys, but I'll be gone if you bury the treasure I feel is/(was) Linkedin...

Simply the most focussed, useful, practical and tactical social site I almost cannot live without... (sniff) I hope I'm not going to miss you guys!

    (as of October 24th 2013... this needs a bit of updating...)

    I am NOT a so-called blogger, nor do aspire to the fame and (massive) fortunes that seems to follow "the blogger's blogggers" these days... please see: about this, for more on that...

    All I ask is that IF you like the notions presented here, follow me on Twitter to be alerted to those odd times when I get around to committing to more of these... notions.

    ...so, I am NOT a blogger, I am simply a veteran* social media & digital business professional; With over 25 years experience in blah, blah... demonstrated blah success, implementing, blah, blah, blah... innovative ideas from, blah... start-up through to blah... projects for established Fortune 500 companies. 

    Comprehensive idea-generation ...blah, blah, blah problem solving skills with blah, blah, blah, blah... blah experience in a wide variety of markets.

    I do like to talk, even more, I like to think up, develop and implement, solutions. SO, lets talk :-)
