This year, an amusing article in Wired suggested that LinkedIn executives – who discourage using the platform for dating – secretly know that that is its ultimate use.īut in case this sounds promising to anyone out there, here are four reasons not to use LinkedIn as a dating site: (Fischer told the Chicago Tribune he developed it in part “ after angling to score dates himself.”) A few years ago, a jaunty article on Inc.com christened LinkedIn “the new online dating site,” a story followed by dog whistles from hook-up sites around the country. They were invited there – not by LinkedIn, but by business publications, freelance journalists and entrepreneurs like Max Fischer, who launched an app called BeLinked, which targets singles on LinkedIn and suggests “matches” to users based on their imported data. Would-be suitors (and scammers) may not have decided to invade LinkedIn on their own. It turns out that this depressing turn of events was not just happenstance.
