This story refers to the various levels of contribution to be found on LinkedIn.
He sat at his computer, alone and miserable.
Thanks to LinkedIn, the world knew him as 'Top Contributor', the ultimate mark of shame amongst online authors. 'Top Contributor' flagged him as a nerd, with no life beyond his laptop. His stories were sterile, worthless. How he longed to be 'building influence' or – best of all – 'getting started'.
He considered suicide, then realised he'd never discover if it made any difference. Then one day he discovered a tiny button at the top of his keyboard, a small circle with a tiny line.
He pressed it, and with one bound was free.
