Quitting LinkedIn
Oh boy. When has it become fashionable to quite X and announce it to the whole world?<p>LinkedIn is just a tool - it's usefulness depends on what your current needs are. It's useless today and useful tomorrow. Just like any other tool - i.e. take hammers for example.<p>Would it sound absurd for someone to announce that they quit hammers tomorrow? Does any of this make sense?<p>- Yeah, hammer was really useful to me when I hanged that picture on the wall last year. Not so much any more, I should quit it!<p>- I'm past hammers - electric drill with screws can do 90% of it does and for the 10% it does not I should really re-assess whether I'm doing the right thing in the first place.<p>- I tried to make a cereal with a hammer this morning, but it did not work! WTF???<p>- I watched this movie where someone was killed with a hammer. What an evil tool, I should quit it as it stains my karma!<p>- I don't use it any more, but every time I pass by the toolbox it reminds me that I still have it and I get this strong urge to get rid of it. It depresses me so much, that I want to throw away the whole box or move out of the house!<p>Don't mean to be harsh on Cap Watkins, I'm just tired of reading this kind of posts. Oh wait, I know - I should quit the Internet!
