What a social network should never, ever do is lock out users, regardless of their device.
After being automatically corralled to their “touch” version, LinkedIn refused to accept my login credentials, and even pimped its own iOS app. Perhaps a non-working website is their way of forcing users to download that app and bolster their stats.
Needless to say, after downloading their precious 2-star (user rated) app, it crashes straightaway, and upon relaunch, refuses my login just the same.
LockedOut is more apt, and reaffirms why I don’t use their service more.
Update: Turns out it was a security measure; my old password apparently wasn’t good enough, and the full website wanted me to create one newer and more secure. Only problem is that the mobile website and app did not display that message or a way to do so (only the vague “failure to sign in” error message), making the first part of this post still valid; I was a mobile user locked out until I could access the full site via PC.
