But Facebook's review system is flawed. Using a very simple loophole, any competitor, angry customer, or coward can post a review and cause the review median [...]
LinkedIn is all sorts of messed up & backwards. Last week Darren Nix wrote about "the absurdity of LinkedIn" which basically pointed out how logged out users have more benefits than signed-in users. The thread got hundreds of comments on Hacker News from folks talking about how terrible it is as a platform and social network. Anyway, if you [...]
