LinkedIn is the latest online network to announce it’s going OpenSocial and giving us an API (an “intelligent” one, no less). I’m ambivalent about LinkedIn. On the one hand it feels as though it should be really useful. On the other, it feels a bit like a stamp collection. On the other hand (whoa! where did that extra hand come from?) it feels like a jungle stalked by ravenous business development people (sales) and people desperate to sell you something (er, sales).
Has anyone used it for anything other than trying to look more professional than they really are? If so, please do let me know because I think I’m doing it wrong.
