Changes to LinkedIn cause some controversy.

Ah, the uproar of social media – even the slightest change to a network will cause huge commotion! We all remember Facebook’s attempt to change its privacy rules. Facebook users came back with a gabillion (is that a word?) negative responses to this change. Today’s victim? LinkedIn. They actually went a step further than Facebook and didn’t bother to inform its users of the change. Now that is a NO NO. The change was that LinkedIn disabled the group email list download function for group managers.  This means that they can no longer send group e-newsletters, nor can a group manager communicate directly with its group members. Due to this change the people have started a Petition Online. You would have figured that they would have learned from other’s mistakes. I guess not.
