I am apparently a terrible blogger, because I have gotten more than one threat from friends claiming that they will "un-follow" me. So I figured I should probably force out a post now that I finished my second midterm for Law & Economics.
Anyway, I wanted to briefly complain about the time I have wasted on LinkedIn and how I foresee 0 economic benefit from using it. First, I have about as many "connections" on LinkedIn that I have "followers" on blogger: 10. Second, it takes about as much time to complete a LinkedIn profile as it does complete your résumé; which for a future yuppie like myself, is a long time. And last, LinkedIn requires that you get "recommendations" from some of your professional connections - but here's the thing, I'm not going to waste my colleagues time to write a nice paragraph about me that just about no one will ever read. (I would hope my colleagues would spend their time on something slightly more important... like reading my blog).
So now that you have read this I hope I have convinced you to invest some time in creating a LinkedIn profile. & while you're at it, be sure to add me as a connection & write me an elaborate recommendation too!
