Twitter dumps LinkedIn

article published on 30 June, 2012

LinkedIn has confirmed that Twitter will no longer sync updates on the business social networking site. The partnership had begun in 2009 but has ceased as of this week.

Actually, LinkedIn is the only useful social networking site out there -- the rest are all recreational nonsense for those with the metal acuity of a 15-year-old.

I received a substantial raise and an extended retainment contract by simply updating my LinkedIn profile with my current position description and making it clear I was considering offers. Not to mention the interview invitations I continue to receive. Can't say that Facebook, Google+, and Instagram have ever done (or ever could do) that for me.

I think this separation is a good thing. LinkedIn is for professionals -- Twitter is for bored celebrities who think the rest of us care every time they take a breath. The two don't belong together at all.
