My first attempt is bor-ing. :) Hi Anna,

I need to spend a little more time messing around with my own ideas for a board or two. My first attempt is bor-ing. :)

Honestly, I think it helps to have some experience as a blogger. You develop a thick skin, and you know how to whack trolls and keep the Comments cats herded. I doubt a lot of LinkedIn Group managers have that background. You know I’m all about the “clarity and ownership” thing, Andy. Honestly, I think it helps to have some experience as a blogger.

Already saw a post today that said Wolfram Alpha could become a Google competitor (I think that's QUITE a stretch, but still....things are rumbling.)

Remember when Google was a search engine, and you could just go and ask it a question and get the answer? Instead, now, in the arms race to own the web, companies seem to be abandoning us users. To hell with privacy policies, data security, and doing the right thing when you've got a war to win, right? /irony This all totally sucks.

Most people won't take the extra 5 minutes to make that connection, since spamming folks with plastic press releases is so quick and easy these days... I thought it was spot on.

Unfortunately I've noticed a massive drop off in engagement with LinkedIn over the past 12-18 months. I'm not sure if people are just migrating off to other platforms, just overwhelm, or the increase in off topic spam. Unfortunately, I'm at fault too - don't spend as much time there, since I spend 15 minutes marking items as spam (and by spam, I don't mean unintentionally spammy posts but totally crap, v*agara and p0rn spam, etc.) On occasion I do promote some of my longer, non self-promotional blog posts for the conversation aspects, and used to enjoy the convo, but now, it's crickets in many of my old favorite handouts. It's a shame, I don't know how to fix it since most moderators won't step up with clarity and ownership like you have.
