Be Careful With LinkedIn Connection Requests
"Well I wouldn't say MOST. I'm connected to about 1400 people, and I know probably 800 of them in person (even if fleetingly so, such as "sat next to each other during lunch at a conference). Another 200 by reputation (the biz equivalent of "friend of a friend," where we clearly have something in common, such as a PR person in the field I cover). The rest are people who are sort-of-interesting, such as someone who is in the same LI group I am; for instance, I posted a long message in a group for freelance writers and suddenly a lot of writers want to connect with me. Even if not all of them are people I'd go out of my way to have coffee with. The spam would-be connections are few and far between!"« previous1 next »
