You received a LinkedIn message where you can see the
entire mailing list?
There was a time when you could send a message out to 50
of your connections at a time, and uncheck a little box, so your entire list
could not see who else received the message.
The message looked like it was
only sent to you, but was not necessarily addressed to you by name.
In all the time that I have been on LinkedIn, I have
seldom ever sent mass messages out to my connections. My connections are
treasures, and I never want to "burn" them in any way.
When I have
sent out a mass message, I have always asked my "peeps" to feel free
to ask me to help them as well.
It is never all about me. It is always about how many people
I can help.
Then came September of 2015! What a turmoil!
The changes that LinkedIn made to their platform were
startling to say the least!
Many LinkedIn users are unaware that along with all the
new changes came the inability to send discrete mass messages.
There have been many of us complain to LinkedIn about
this, but LinkedIn seems oblivious to making this change back to the way it
was.
Over the years there were many users who abused this
feature and spammed their connection list. I see these new changes as a way for
LinkedIn to put a stop to all the spamming. After all, they want us all to feel
that LinkedIn is the most professional platform on the net.
Remember, LinkedIn is a business. It is not just created
so we can all have free use. Their ultimate goal is to make money. The new
changes are pointing us in the "paid platform" direction.
