I never put a lot of value in the data on LinkedIn.

Where else can I get "endorsements" for random technology keywords like SOA from people who cannot possibly know what SOA means?




I really want to see the code for how that works. My great aunt did not endorse me for python, because she has no clue what that is. I'm curious if they trick people into clicking that? or if they just purely make it up.


They send emails to your contacts/dig through your email list to find people you know and ask them to endorse you for xyz skills through one click. Your great aunt was probably thinking she did you a solid. Scummy by the company.
