@nbartlett I'm pretty sure this is actually what our dog thinks.

Maybe I should ask him if he thinks that he has some sort of quarterly barking target, and see if we can shift the paradigm to something not barking related.

(Our dog is small, but has the bark of a much larger dog. And he sure does like to practice it.)

I can't say I predicted it, @jzb —as I was focused that $MSFT'S LinkedIn was a non-#FOSS web application when it launched. But there was something gnawing at me at the time —beyond FOSS issues.

Your line about “corporate drone cosplay” puts that feeling into words perfectly.

So-called “Social media” is a dangerous tool, but done correctly, it entices ppl to be themselves online (like Usenet did).

@nbartlett's reply makes me wanna sign up,though — to make my dog a LinkedIn profile in protest.
