    Because what LinkedIn really needed was Xbox ecosystem integration. /s

    I like how they say “LinkedIn” is getting in on gaming when their parent company (Microsoft) fucking owns the god damned Xbox.

        Yeah, I don’t understand why anyone posts there. LinkedIn is for finding jobs, not actually communicating. You just want to have a network so you have a better chance of having a connection with people who are hiring.

          I can understand event announcements, my job applications are for foo widget builders, so let me know if Foo Widget Con is happening with hiring companies or Foo Widget User Group so we can all get together and share in our pain.

          Outside of that, most posts are meaningless.

    Just what I want from a platform designed for networking and job seeking: games.

      Boss: Why are you on LinkedIn?

      Me: I’m just checking up on my Farmville.

      Boss: Oh okay. Carry on.

      LinkedIn has been the Facebook you can us at work for a while. How games will change that? TBD

    What in the hell is this timeline, even. For real.

    Not only are you a sucker for giving them all your personal contacts a la Facebook, but now they can get your gaming info as well? Please fuck off.

    So when are they adding the cringy Farmville-equivalent type games to it? Make sure to help your boss farm their crops or you might risk getting fired! :-)

      It’s owned by MS. Just to give you a view how important do they think it is, if you’re on Windows press Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift+L on your keyboard.

    Is this going to turn out to be one of those "last starfighter” situations, except it’s about arranging lists of words rather than fighting aliens?
