I am one of those who are new to LinkedIn and fortunate enough to have you accept me as a contact! :-) I guess that means I"m glad we have met in person on several professional and social occasions.. <BR/><BR/>I'm still very much in the process of learning all about it but have found it an interesting tool to discover all the people I know who have already joined! I have yet to make a yet unknown strong business connection but I'm hoping it will be soon.<BR/><BR/>So far I have taken the attitude that I will only invite or accept an invitation from someone who I would have no trouble introducing to someone else. I have gotten a few invites from people I hardly know and sorry, I too, have not added them to my network.<BR/><BR/>I was even contacted recently by LinkedIn's Chief Encouragement Officer who goes by Wright Hand Blogger on My Blog Log...and I'm optimistic that he can help me continue to effectively build my network.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-35402231215068193262007-06-08T13:33:00.000-05:002007-06-08T13:33:00.000-05:00This is also becoming an intersting intersection b...This is also becoming an intersting intersection between virtual friends and real life connections. Fred Wilson has an interesting post on the topic. <BR/><BR/>http://avc.blogs.com/a_vc/2007/05/what_if_you_are.html<BR/><BR/>The question then becomes How can you expand your network, while still having your contacts be meaningful...hopefully a company is working on a solution right now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09141048272578450145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-38495953043934441722007-06-07T23:48:00.000-05:002007-06-07T23:48:00.000-05:00It would seem in some ways, recruiters and LIONs h...It would seem in some ways, recruiters and LIONs have lessened what LinkedIn could be. If LinkedIn would allow you to specify what kind of connection a person was, it would make for a much stronger community. Who really has 500+ people they could recommend?<BR/><BR/>Brian Oates<BR/>www.Daxle.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
