LinkedIn has become the defacto premiere website for making business connections, so as a consequence all these groups have sprung up promising to connect you to more and more people. I joined a few groups, but they weren’t quite what I was looking for. So I wanted to leave a group.
You’d have thought a website dedicated to business professionals would make it easy to do what you need to do – like leaving a group. But oh no.
You can’t leave a group from your group settings page. Oh no, that’d be far too obvious.
Instead, you have to go to a listing of all your groups, and click on the tiny word that says Actions by each link. And I had to do that by consulting the Help page.
LinkedIn, sort it out!

I had a LinkedIn account once, but I closed it after I realised the service is essentially useless to me. I'd love to know if anyone has ever been offered a proper job on the strength of a LinkedIn recommendation or their profile.
Maybe I just move in the wrong fields. I'm sure some people find it a useful communications tool, but I suspect most people just join because other people they know are on it and they don't want to feel left out.

If that was the only problem with LInkedin. Try getting a fake employee removed from your company page. And it's not like these guys can't code, they're also behind the excellent TripIt.

Ah – never tried TripIt. I'm on Dopplr for that sort of thing…
