I love what LinkedIn is doing for content, but I have a few problems with the structure it has. I wish I could have followers on my profile instead of connections. I feel connections are an endorsement of the other person or that I know them personally, when in reality, I don't. Every time I enter LinkedIn, I have 200-300 invitations to connect.
I understand the user can opt to follow you, but most people want to "connect." So I am using my Facebook page (http://facebook.com/ruidelgado), Medium and blog to distribute the content instead. Is this going to change anytime soon?

@rui Hi Rui -- Will jump in. Thanks for this feedback. Totally feel this pain and agree. Its something we are thinking through now -- IE -- what is the best way to solve. Based on what you say, I'd imagine you're thinking of the ability for you to control whether your page has connect or follow. (vs we show connect and follow both on page all the time). Would love any added feedback here -- will hit you direct and would love to speak live on it if you are game. thanks again.
