I got my first(?) Caltech Alumni spam today which led me to this page which led me to this page.
The cool thing about LinkedIn Groups feature (finding this is an interesting case of buried UI) is that this stuff seems to be officially/unofficially sponsored by the groups hosted by LinkedIn. This means I get a cool logo next to my vanity profile:
LinkedIn Groups, It’ll get you drunk!
Other than the cool logo, WTF? There is no event management; there is no message board; there is no mailing list; there is no homepage. It is just a directory. Why do I need groups for that?
I was hoping that we could use this for Lunch 2.0, but I’m not too sure it adds anything. Thoughts?
Looks like this idea needs more than a little work to be useful.
