"So and so has endorsed you for XML and Microsoft Office!"

Every time I get one of these emails I come a little bit closer to closing my LinkedIn account. A LinkedIn replacement in the form of about.me sounds pretty appealing right now.

There's something similar (with less dumb endorsements?) in zerply.com.
Apparently if you try to tag a skill with "C#" it shows you an error that you can't even identify as an error

upon DOM inspection it says "A Tag can consist of letters A-Z, plus, space, underscores, hash or dashes."

That aside it's a very slick website

edit: apparently you also can't edit an experience name. It looks like it changes when you save but when you refresh it it goes back to what it was before.
