I received an invitation from my school mate to join his network on LinkedIn. Here is LinkedIn’s invitation below –

One thing that cought my attention is, why LinkedIn is telling me how many CEOs use LinkedIn daily?

As per my profile on LinkedIn, I am a Design Engineer. And my friend who is sending me an invitation is also a Research and Development Engineer. So wouldn’t it be relevant if LinkedIn tells me how many R&D Engineers, or how many other students from our school use LinkedIn daily? Where is the relevancy of CEO statistics in our connection? Why would I care of that data?

I think they wasted their some hours in programming that logic which was not useful to many end users.

My perspective is, if you are not having some relevant information for the end user, then don’t send it. It’s ok. This advice is not for LinkedIn only. It’s for all of us for our daily conversation as well.
