I’ve been spending lots of time on LinkedIn since I’m on a job hunt. My track record of finding jobs and gigs on LinkedIn has always been positive. Fast Company published an interesting article about a potential new technology that is supposed to tell if people lie on their LinkedIn profiles. Here’s a quote from the article:

While the benefits of LinkedIn still outweigh the negatives for me, I’ll admit I’ve been seeing the site change for the worst, especially regarding fake profiles and such. Given the current economic climate and job market, I can only guess how this lying trend on LinkedIn will go.
