Am I alone in saying that this doesn’t entirely make sense? How come I’m the only one wondering if this is a big joke.

I think it’s fine. The goal is to measure the pulse of the Linkedin community, hopefully in a sincere attempt to icreate meaningful change.

PS – For the record, I am not an Obama fan!! I just wanted to mention that in light of my comment! He certainly has not secured my vote!

Frankly, I am surprised that people are angry about this issue of Obama’s question. Whether he paid for it, or not, I think it is out of the box thinking for his campaign. I also think it is a fresh way of connecting with a “community of people”, professional people. And for LinkedIn, it was certainly an opportunity for their organization to ride on the coat tails of a person who is in the news everyday. It wouldn’t hurt LinkedIn if CNN or MSNBC or FOX News mentioned that Obama was on LinkedIn. There are still millions of people who have no idea LinkedIn exist. So, in the end who does it hurt. It wasn’t unethical. It was mean spirited, it was a question that generated at 1300 or more people to respond and that is not a bad thing in my opinion!

Definitely brilliant. When Rudy showed up as a new contact of one of my contacts, I poked around and found that Obama was also on LinkedIn, but Clinton, Romney and McCain appeared not to be. Posing questions there takes a good thing to a whole new level.
