LinkedIn Isn't Just for Jobs Anymore. It's Now a Dating App Too. (www.businessinsider.com)

LinkedIn is trash, it's a glorified resume where narcissists go to brag about themselves.

Adding a dating feature is only going to benefit two groups of people: the ones who have the highest paying jobs, and people who are looking to be with someone for their money. For everyone else, this is just going to make LinkedIn more repulsive than it already was.

Edit - I'm lazy, ignore this and read the article

I thought it was for people to suck corporate cock and post terrible hiring stories.
