UI/UX MUSINGS

1. Who else noticed this? . Unlike Facebook/twitter/Instagram where a "follow/friend request" can be canceled if you aren't interested in connecting any longer, LinkedIn's "connect/ invite" button doesn't have an "undo/cancel" feature from its #pending state. So, once you send an invite request....gooone! . Why so? I don't quite get that part(yet). Is it some deliberate smart engineering in UI usability? or someone just forgot something really important? 2 For those with connections >500, LinkedIn only shows "500+" connections on your profile like it's some upper limit. What's the big idea behind this? . Is there any psychology behind not showing the exact number of connections one has once it exceeds 500? . You know...does it dissuade people from treating LinkedIn the same way they treat IG, Facebook, Twitter, where much focus is placed on amassing the most followers in short time? . #justWondering 3
