Oh yes please. Linkedin has been feature creeped to hell and hardly a minimization in purpose at all.

Imagine linkedin stripped down to a singular perfect professional profile? Instead of a maze of categorizations, all vaguely similar and meaningless.

Unfortunately, as is the case with all social networks, the functionality is secondary. Ubiquity is the game and sometimes that momentum is established just by being first.

I'm unsure if I'm doing it right but I've never used LinkedIn to secure an interview or job for that matter. I haven't met anyone who had done the same either and my Facebook LinkedIn friends list is basically 1:1.

I wonder what it would take for a MySpace Facebook migration for LinkedIn.

A significantly better product and/or at a lower price point that has enough marketing and buzz to spur a mass exodus.

There's a tipping point wherein there's enough momentum among a competitor to at least induce someone into signing up, if not fully converting.

In this respect, the feature would even be to hide the profile.
