LinkedOUT
You might have heard of LinkedIn.com the website that allows you to connect with professional people you know, have worked with, or want to work with. You can stay informed with contacts, reconnect with people, and maybe even learn something (although I find the last part lacking).
But, more importantly in the business world is not who you have worked with but who you have worked with that is a douche. How do you tell the desired contacts from the no-talent hacks who comprise many of the people you come into contact with everyday? I am proposing a site that let’s you know who’s been cut-off, excommunicated, and silently sent out to pasture.
The same way LinkedIn works, except for recommending people and adding friends you will only flame the losers and remove people from contact lists. It would be a spider-web of bad feelings and broken promises. Can you think of anything better? Even if you got listed you would get a kick out of who unfriended you. I’m gonna start working on it now….
thanks to larry d for the idea, even if i did bastardize it – he’s cut off anyway.
