Only posting promotional posts/tweets/articles and never engaging in a 2-way dialog with your community. People who use social media as a marketing tool, rather than an engagement opportunity.

Rather than re-hashing the history here, take a moment and read this great article by the folks at@HubSpot explaining a bit of the history and their thoughts on why this is a good thing.

It has become a bit of a “professional” meat market. Are you surprised that there is a legitimate article on “How to pick up women on LinkedIn”?
