It must be a slow news week, because I just can’t make out the reasoning behind the latest article on Bloomberg.com about LinkedIn.

Let’s have a look at this so-called news…

You’ve experienced “system failures” before, right?
Disk drives fail, systems crash, services stop working…
It’s a pain, and we all learn to deal with it in our own special ways.
But once in a while, things go really bad – and then you’ve got to have a backup plan. You’ve got one of those for LinkedIn, right?
Because if you were Dennis, who recently wrote “My LinkedIn account completely disappeared, I have to rebuild my connections all over again“, you’d be all set with a backup plan…

Posted by Steve Tylock on 01 Dec 2009 | Tagged as: About the Service
More users spend time at LinkedIn.com during the week – Monday through Friday – than over the weekend. It makes sense that this professional resource fits in during professional time more so than personal time.

It is absolutely true that online users need to keep their wits – there’s lots of ways to go astray.
But I dislike needless slurring of the facts…
Larry Magid writes this weekend that cyber criminals lurk in the waters of Facebook, MySpace, and yes – LinkedIn.
That’s like suggesting that you need to tightly hold onto your purse at the country club because there’s been several reports of problems at the Toss ‘Em Back Bar over in the seedy section of town…

Pat’s email gave me a pause for concern.
What would I do if someone else setup a profile with my name?

Alternatively titled “Poll Results Show Nearly Everyone Won’t Take Polls!”
