- Very nice. I thought it wasn't going to save a "You Go Girl" style story about "My Dick", but it turned it into a conference anecdote with a powerpoint slide about Richard III. Hilarious.by fluxusars

- Excellent.
Though many follow a shorter sentence style.
Like this.
To go on and on about what they're going on about.
by ricardo81 - I can’t stand the current trend in social media posting.
It’s not writing, it’s crap.
A few sentences.
Alone.
Incorrect grammar.
Not sentences, just phrases.
You’re supposed to think it has more impact.
It doesn’t.
If you can’t be bothered to write your own words on social media, then just don’t post.
by efitz - I think the cringiest are people talking about their cancer or their divorce, and how it helped them realize an insight about B2B sales.by iamwil
- Too bad the thought leader is spewing 500 Internal Server Error. "Oops! Our thought leadership engine is experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again." isn't something I'm proud to post to Slack.by oefrha
- A genuine question for the people here, I am just a college student so maybe I am missing something, but does anybody actually browse through linkedin? The only times I actually open it up is when either I did something that I would like to remember when I update my Resume at a later date, or when my friends text me to open it up and like their post :)
- I frequently post on LinkedIn, on topics related to AI, startups, open source, etc. I try to have a pragmatic and realistic take and don't use AI to write the posts.
I find that just by not being cringe, obviously AI or obviously over the top sales-y makes the posts stand out and raise my (consulting) profile enough to land a meaningful number of clients, just as a second-order effect.
Lately I've been even more annoyed at the walls of its walled garden being raised higher, eg. no way to export my own posts, or having to log in to open linkedin shortened urls, which breaks my firefox site containers workflow.
