Users will get offered gift

Users will get offered gift cards from places like Amazon and Starbucks in exchange for their participation. Or, in a nice touch, they'll be able to make donations to charities. And LinkedIn should simply receive an undisclosed amount of money from researchers for facilitating the whole thing.

Gah. I really don't want

Gah. I really don't want to be forever prompted to fill out surveys when I access my linked-in account. What a pain.

Linkedin is really a job site

Linkedin was included into the About.com Top 10 job site list but linkedin is still the only social network on the list though.....the newest 3 on the list are-

www.linkedin.com (professional networking)
www.indeed.com (aggregated listings)
www.realmatch.com (matches you to the perfect job)

Complete top 10 job site list here:

Are We Talking About the Same LinkedIn?

This is the same company that was looking for around $26 million to keep going, right? So they're still short?

I also think they'll find the survey to be a white elephant - the higher up a chain someone is, the less inclined they are to answer (or even read) such things.

It seems LinkedIn is falling ever further behind with relevance in the current social media-led world.
