Why do we change just for change’s sake?
I bought a new laptop last weekand having been a user of Dell machines for many many years I was seduced by the apparent good looks and power of a new Samsung machine.

Why on earth were they receiving so many endorsements? What are endorsements about? Why do people I hardly know endorse me for my “Bread Making”? were some of the questions raised. Continue reading “Why LinkedIn is getting it wrong, so very wrong”
