LinkedIn's 150 million users consider the platform more of a business network than a social media outlet. But, LinkedIn's co-founder, Reid Hoffman, recently admitted in a WIRED article that most users don't know how to optimize the power of the platform. Check out 13 Things You Never Knew You Could Do On LinkedIn from Business Insider.
WIRED quoted Hoffman: "Ask the average person,” Hoffman says with frustration. “They think it’s a place they keep their CV online and maybe have some connections with people they know professionally. They don’t think of it as a place to get business intelligence, to research problems, to establish an online presence where other people in the network can find them. It’s as if we’re a screwdriver in a world where people don’t quite understand screws."
