re: Ryze vs. LinkedIn |

Dean,
After skimming this thread, I can only offer a good guess.
I joined LinkedIn last year, mainly so people wouldn't keep bugging me with their invitations :-)
I went there a couple of times and found the format very uncomfortable. I even contacted a couple of people but they were much different than they represented (had they accurately represented, they could have gotten business projects from me). People invite me to be part of their whatever, and when I accept I never hear from them. I am linked to a group of complete strangers with whom I have nothing in common. To me, LI seems to be a job search network but not good for networking for entrepreneurs. And certainly not good for getting to know people like we do on Ryze.
I am not saying it wouldn't be a good network for others. Perhaps it is. And maybe there is some big business going on there. But there are no forums on which to communicate which to me is the main appeal of Ryze.
I never went back, yet my profile sits there. Thus, I am a member. Now in answer to your question, how many other "members" have profiles sitting there and do not participate? Perhaps 2-1/2 million?
I had also joined Ecademy and that was short lived. Very biting, angry negative people on the forums - that seemed to be their "schtick" - being mean for entertainment - and my money was refunded.
