A LinkedIn for spies would be a professsional social networking site where everybody lied about who they were and what they had worked on.

So LinkedIn, basically.

“But I don’t lie on LinkedIn” is exactly what someone who lies on LinkedIn would say.

(It’s also what someone who didn’t get the joke would say.)

I thought of this whole “LinkedIn for spies” riff while I was struggling to describe to someone how I use LinkedIn.

I hibernated my “real” LinkedIn profile a few years ago and created a second account. Different email address, not my whole name, no contacts, no job history. I now use LinkedIn solely for what you could call corporate intelligence-gathering.

(Is that gross and cynical? Sure. But everything about LinkedIn is gross and/or cynical, including the users.)
