Advanced user of LinkedIn GroupsI like being part of groups for work and LinkedIn Groups is an organized feature on LinkedIn where it helps me keep in touch with my contacts, peers, and coworkers. The feature is easy to use and I need permission to join a specific group. From the group, I can see the different updates on jobs and careers for my peers. I cannot talk to my coworkers and peers all the time, so I use LinkedIn Groups to communicate with them. There are other features on there where I can see updates from my peer and I can congratulate them or send short messages on their achievements.
A lot of people join the LinkedIn Groups but they do not always keep in touch. It is a feature that can be forgotten easily, so unless there is someone in the group who is very active and keeps posts active, the feature isn't a top priority when using LinkedIn. I used to just use LinkedIn for connecting with classmates but over the years, people forget about me or they don't want to keep in touch professionally anymore. LinkedIn Groups is great for school and work but I wouldn't use it as a feature to keep in touch with close connections.
LinkedIn Groups doesn't have many issues or problems that I have noticed. It's just a feature that can be forgotten easily because there isn't much to do other than create quick posts. People who I connect to more in depth are added on my other social media accounts like Instagram or Facebook. I use LinkedIn Groups to connect with coworkers and classmates. I have seen that it is a way to organize my contacts and see where I met the specific person.
