That's one step above the endorsements I've received for things I've never actually done.

Re: Ignored LinkedIn invitations, in ascending order of hurt feelings.
 

I do - a few of the groups I'm in are actually useful and informative.

Re endorsements, I have a friend who does bar grievance defense, and he says this is going to become a huge potential issue for lawyers. After he told me that, I don't show them and I don't give them. (I have done the narrative recommenations, though, for people I actually recommend.)

Linkedin is an online resume. A resume is 75% truth. A claim Linkedin endorsements constitute fraudulent marketing requires application of a literalness standard that has never existed online, or in any resume (or, really, among any normal people).

Linkedin is where you lie about your skills and credentials. Facebook is where you lie about the awesomeness and price of your last vacation.

Yes, one hopes any such claims are laughed out of whatever forum they're made in, except they're going to come in front of a bunch of 70 year old real estate attorneys who think someday this internetty thingy might catch on and woe to the world when it does. It's like having the grandmas and grandpas on the SCt handling IP cases.

I tend to sign on to linked in after attending conferences or events and do follow up with whatever prospects I trolled during the event. Yes, it makes me feel dirty, but so does everything about the law... Now I'm going to cry. BnB, hold me.

Someone needs to start putting up spoof pages on the site. It could easily be done. "Is [Insert Target] an expert in Neoclassical Expressive Dance?" A profile with a list of endorsements for Palm Reading, Archery, Roulette, etc... could be quite funny if done right. That could go viral immediately.

As I write this, I realize, it has to have been done by someone already.

ETA: It has been, sort of.

I am willing to bet you any amount of money that the truth percentage of both NotBob's resume and Linked In page exceeds 99% (now that he took "Riot Grrl music enthusiast" out of the "Interests" section of his resume). I am insulted on his behalf by your reckless slander and challenge you to a duel.

Re: Ignored LinkedIn invitations, in ascending order of hurt feelings.
 

You can endorse someone in other categories that you create.

Re: Ignored LinkedIn invitations, in ascending order of hurt feelings.
 

You have made my week. Thank you, sir.

Re: Ignored LinkedIn invitations, in ascending order of hurt feelings.
 

It's libel. My Youtube piece, "NotBob is Not Only Not Bob but Also Not a Riot Grrrl Enthusiast (But is a Shoplifter, Pederast, and Mets Fan)" is slander.

But I'll be your huckleberry. Pistols or the customary crossbows?

Re: Ignored LinkedIn invitations, in ascending order of hurt feelings.
 

I've had more calls from headhunters this year than any year previously. I haven't become more awesome this year, but I do have a linkedin profile. I suspect that there's a connection.

Also, linkedin seems to be down for me today. I note this because yet another person "endorsed" me for my expertise in privacy law. This one actually works with me and more or less has seen my privacy law skills in action.

I invented insulting NotBob.

It's also pretty good as a place to make gentle self-deprecating jokes, and for Hank to double down on them in the presence of your loved ones.

Re: Ignored LinkedIn invitations, in ascending order of hurt feelings.
 

That is their money and future. I know.someone who worked in marketing there and their income is made by selling access to their database to employers and headhunters, which full searchable functionality. Law is so fucking far behind that it is a negligible part of their recruiting income so far. My old firm is still using craigslist because they think they are modern and saving $50 by not using CalLaw or the Chronicle. Worse, even, they pay headhunters.to "find" candidates. So, in sum, mature lawyers are uninformed, ignorant, clueless and a menace, at least when it comes to almost anything beyond the dictaphone.
