Dear Linkedin, Not sure who told you that you needed ridiculous security, but you are a simple business networking site. Not fort knox…

You are frustrating me as a long time and frequent user by not adding value, rather causing unnecessary pain through this superfluous feature. You should check with your user base before adding features that people don’t like.

Keep it succinct:

What’s the world coming to? My local car wash called me for a customer satisfaction survey and asked me to refer people that I know. Seriously though, why don’t all businesses do a better job of asking for customer referrals? It is a fundamentally sound business development process that a lot of sophisticated high tech companies don’t do or don’t do well!
