I was fairly active online, including on LinkedIn. I started on LinkedIn on fall 2008, about 16 or 17 years ago: mainly for job and networking purpose. But recently I noticed a minor problem I had after I posted my Calendly link. And I liked to get back to the LinkedIn post and edit it: unfortunatley there is no good UI to get to my post. As you can see, the google caches the wrong linkedIn post (probably same month).
Mar 6, 2024 — How to create an #appointment #button in #LinkedIn without #premium sub. I put my #calendly link – https://lnkd.in/gAWsYrPM (this is the link goes to my Calendly link) as a link in my …
I also thought about maybe I posted the link at another person’s post as comment. I looked manually and didn’t see my name there.
After some struggle, I finally found the place in Calendly that I can turn off the meeting invitation.
My lesson here IS: post or comment on LinkedIn less. One reason is it’s impossible to go back and edit (endless scrolling) to get the old post. Another reason is because LinkedIn is usually for work or look for work. Saying too much there may not be a good thing for work or when I need to look for work 🙂
PS: this reminds me of a similar thing. Once, to be precise twice, I posted my children’s piano teacher contact information in a FB group, as I was under the “wrong” assumption that he was interested to have more students. And he found out it’s me and told me to delete the post (comment to be precise). I did. But at first it seems I only deleted one post. Later he told me he still got calls, and I searched the FB, and deleted the other post (or comment). Comparatively speaking, FB is better than LinkedIn in terms of search capability.
