Internet

LinkedIn isn’t all that bad, is it? It’s been one year since I started using it, originally to keep in touch with my Berlin colleagues while going to Paris. (In France, I’ve even been forced to create a WhatsApp account …)

A lot of people seem to hate LinkedIn, and for sure, there exist some ridiculous cultures on this platform. Still, my experience has been quite nice.

It’s not as life-changing as using Twitter in the ’00s, which really transformed how I received news. But quite often, I learn about interesting stuff and discussions that are going on, and that much better than in the dumpster fires that the other big platforms have become. Also, LinkedIn provides a nice place to put occasional thoughts and observations.

And, the nicest surprise: I even met some old friends again thanks to LinkedIn. :D (Including two friends from the golden pre-social-network times of message boards, IRC, and ICQ!)
