Does linkedin 'leak' too much information
Posted by Ian Holsman
I was just reading how Torsten started a new job at a ‘Sekret’ Company.
so I was interested, and did a bit of sleuthing to find out about it.
Thanks to linked in, I can see 15 people who are working there, from their CTO down to their PA.
The problem being, most of the people are well know for their work in certain fields. so I can determine with a degree of certainty what space their ‘Sekret’ company is in by the people working there.
So .. if you want to keep your company sekret, you need to be careful of social networks, especially when your staff are well known in their fields.
now while most of these people are my friends and linked in directly, others are not.. so the people at Torsten’s company at viewable by all the people I have considered to be my friends… these people may be in direct competition to Torsten’s company..
