Could LinkedIn’s Publishing Platform become little more than spam?

I used to enjoy seeing the little flag on the top of LinkedIn indicate some form of engagement.

Much like a number on the little globe on Facebook, a number on the LinkedIn flag indicated someone liked or commented on something I shared in my status update or mentioned me in something they shared or commented on.

I’d hit that flag on my LinkedIn iPad app and engage the folks who had engaged me. As I’ve blogged before I’d comment back, drop folks a note, and offer to get together.
