Journal Journal: After 19 years I have come to the conclusion that LinkedIn was a waste of time. 1

I agree. I think a second benefit could be that interested high school (or college) students now get a data source that doesn't change locations from administration to administration.

Where are the good men and women of India who should be outraged that their country is starting to only be known for it's scam call centers?
