Gotta admit I didn't know it was there. Was a time you paid attention to the groups. (It's still maybe one of the best ways to connect with new people.) Now, it's updates. Kind of like Twitter but a little tougher to connect with people you don't know. I know no one will agree with me but I think it's kind of weird to use a book list for networking. I'm a multidimenional person. I'm reading stuff that wouldn't interest business connections. So I'm gonna make up a book list specifically as some kind of marketing? Just seems ingenuous.
