I can't even imagine how this feature request made it out of a brainstorming session, let alone into an app...

"Linkedin would like to make data available to any nearby Bluetooth devices even when you're not using the app"

@quirst Conferences.

There's a major overlap between obsessive LinkedIn users, and people who regularly attend conferences, workshops, hackathons, meetups, get-togethers, god knows what else.

So the ability to instantly share Linkedin details would be a major upside there.

@wogan aaaaah I see - that is a use case I had no idea about

Still creeps me out and seems like it would be indiscriminate, although I suppose people at a conference are going to be like-minded.

@quirst It's no less indiscriminate than the people who use LinkedIN

It's a perfect fit for their core demographic really - people who spam their invite link to as many other accounts as possible.

@wogan you've got a point there.
