I also like IASIP a lot (Dayman...fighter of the Nightman..)

What actually worries me is the presence of HR, who from what they will see in this sort of social I am sure will come up with totally wrong ideas about employees.

To work, social features must be kept to a minimum, with no "like" and "share" buttons. Otherwise the employee who puts the wrong like will pay for it sooner or later.

See LinkedIn. Initially it was a decent social, where you found colleagues, set up interviews and read news. LinkedIn is where I found my current job here, which I like very much. Now it suffers from the same things as facebook, people who have no idea what they write, post, share, with disastrous results. It's a complete shithole full of "head hunters" and useless post about "how to grow the company" or "how to work smart" and a lot of "life changing" idea that are just trash or copypasta.

So, we actually thought a lot about this. All the categories and interests we put are pretty HR friendly. Nothing NSFW. The most NSFW thing is Sunny haha

Agree with you man, LinkedIn has gone downhill. So, we don't have any functionality to write posts or promote anything. We actually lock it down to only corporations. Like you need your corp email to sign up (only if your corp uses us) and then only connect with people in your corporation.
