LinkedIn and the New Application Platform

LinkedIn Means Business With New Application Platform.

Well, I have to say it, because it irritates me!

The idea behind all those advertised applications is really good – but implementation – simply awful.

Wordpress application is not working at all – either because my blog is self-hosted or – because the Application is so “buggy”.

Especially worth reading are comments to the linked above article.
Let me quote some:

I hope their application implementation will not be as bad as their main site filled with bugs and bad interface. Just tried the wordpress app and already getting few errors. I hope it is a traffic issue but then again as a LinkedIn user, we have been trained to live in an imperfect world/site.

I’m happy to see LinkedIn trying out new ideas, and they seem to be focusing on applications that are have professional value, rather than the frivolous apps that I associate with Facebook. I just hope their sluggish / buggy performance today is a temporary glitch.

I really hope they will do something about the quality of the applications… LinkedIn is the only one so called social place on the Internet I found at least in the minor degree useful.
