LinkedOut
In the five years so that I have been a member of LinkedIn I have received no less than 3.225 email notifications from this social media provider even though I had purposefully elected to receive no notifications at all from LinkedIn using their personal account tool.
That is 124 pages of 25 emails per page that I have in my Gmail facility.
To extract me from this invasion of privacy and countless breaches of my time spend I had to spend over an hour configuring the account through hidden settings to remove the account.
First of all, it was the pleading and begging that if I closed my account I would cut off my contact with 1342 connections and a number of the more prominent contact points named.
With the opportunity to indicate why I am deleting my account I thought long and hard about what it is about LinkedIn that I emphatically disagree with and wrote it out plainly for them to of course go and analyse.
