Is This the Beginning of the End for LinkedIn Groups?
"Heather, Thanks as always for your valuable input! Yep - you're one who would really understand this issue personally!! As BizSugar's moderator, this type of conversation must be an everyday occurrence. :) I agree with your assertion that a social network will live and die by the decisions it makes. Unfortunately, LinkedIn's draconian decisions have proven incapable of stemming the flood of SPAM and has already prompted a flight to new platforms - Google+ seems to be the one folks have most often mentioned to me. We'll just have to see what happens here. Whether it's e-mail or social media, SPAM will continue to be a problem that needs to be addresses. The thing I always say about SPAM is this: people do not spend time and energy on things that don't make them money. Like telemarketing and class-3 bulk mailers, SPAM continues to exist because it works, at least to some degree. One thing is sure: the future promises to be interesting. -Matt"Want to Create Great Content? Don't Miss These 4 Ingredients
