LinkedIn Groups: still there, but barely

11.30.2017 by Maggie McGary // 4 Comments

*updated with additional links at end of post* It’s been a few months since I’ve sounded my regular alarm that LinkedIn Groups’ days are numbered based on the steady deprecation of the product’s functionality over the past few years…which doesn’t mean I’ve stopped thinking about this topic obsessively 🙂 So, where are we with LinkedIn’s […]

LinkedIn Groups: What you Need to Know Now

05.03.2017 by Maggie McGary // 3 Comments

If you read this blog, you know I tend to be sort of a glass-half-empty kind of gal. I prefer to think of myself as a realist rather than a pessimist, but hey–someone has to be the downer, right? 🙂 But with regard to LinkedIn–specifically, LinkedIn groups–I’ve been chronicling them being stripped of features and […]

LinkedIn Shuts Moderator Group–Is the Same Coming for Groups?

03.25.2016 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since I’ve posted about LinkedIn Groups (or posted at all, really…) but leave it to the universe to cause me to have to break my dry spell on a holiday weekend Friday. So remember about six months ago when I wrote about why associations should be planning their LinkedIn group exit […]

LinkedIn Groups Job Tab- No Longer Optional

It’s been a few weeks since I posted about the then-upcoming changes to LinkedIn Groups that are likely to have a profound impact on associations who use LinkedIn as the platform for their member community. Since then, some of the changes have been rolled out: the promotions tab is gone from one of the groups I […]

Why Associations Should Be Planning Their LinkedIn Exit Strategy

Why associations should be planning their LinkedIn exit strategy

Ah, LinkedIn…where would my blogging be without your Groups feature? It’s been a few months since I’ve written about why associations shouldn’t rely on LinkedIn Groups and speculated about whether LinkedIn is in the (albeit slow) process of phasing out the groups feature, but a few recent things have ramped up my suspicions and made me think that […]

LinkedIn Drops Ability to Connect Via Groups

10.06.2014 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

A few months ago I wrote that it would not surprise me at all if LinkedIn dropped the groups feature. Now it appears that they’ve dropped one of the big attractions of groups for many people: the ability to connect with people via groups you’re in together. As this post describes, a big plus of […]

Are Groups Next on LinkedIn’s Chopping Block?

07.09.2014 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Last week, I blogged about the Facebook research thing (btw, PNAS has since published an “Expression of Concern” about the fact that they chose to publish the study). Since LinkedIn enabled publishing on their platform, I’ve been curious to see if it offers any value to users as opposed to just benefiting LinkedIn. While I […]

LinkedIn Cuts More Free Features

04.16.2014 by Maggie McGary // 1 Comment

Are LinkedIn groups or company pages part of your organization’s social media strategy? If so, you should be aware that LinkedIn seems to be slowly but surely phasing out a lot of free features in what appears to be a move towards less free lunch/more monetization. Not surprising after their recently reported weak revenue outlook. […]

LinkedIn Products & Services Tab Disappearing April 14

03.28.2014 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

My eyes are bleeding from all the posts about Facebook’s drop in organic reach (yes, I know, I, too, am guilty about having written about it). People seem shocked that Facebook would do something as crass and uncaring as charging people to reach their audiences, when we’ve been getting that lunch for free until now. […]

LinkedIn is Great…But Not as Your Community Platform

10.07.2013 by Maggie McGary // 1 Comment

I know this topic has been discussed to death, particularly in the association community, but I just can’t help weighing in again after seeing it come up yet again in the ASAE LinkedIn group. The topic? Killing a private community in favor of using public social media platforms–in this particular case, LinkedIn groups. If you […]
