LinkedIn plans to add gaming to its platform

> Three early efforts are games called “Queens”, “Inference” and “Crossclimb.”

> LinkedIn appears to be experimenting with involves player scores being organised by places of work, with companies getting “ranked” by those scores.

Great. Can't wait to hear recruiters saying "we are highly ranked in crossclimb " as one of the reasons to join their company.(I really wish we can get back to this stage given how the job market is currently).

On the other side, there will be more useless posts about high scores from "leaders" and their followers congratulating them on those achievements.

Just when you thought that LinkedIn couldn't get any worse. Is this really the innovative idea that a professional networking platform should focus on ?

It's already looking like Facebook with all the "Like if" and "Agree?" posts.
