[Oe List ...] Ed Feldmanis wants to stay in touch on LinkedIn

[Adam Thomson]

Concerning LinkedIn:

With greatest respect to Ed, let me give you my 
take on this LinkedIn thing. Like Marsha, I have 
also received a request in the name of Ed "to 
stay in touch on LinkedIn"; I have also received 
requests from people in other parts of the world 
to do the same thing - including from my son in New Zealand.

Somebody can correct me if I am wrong - but my 
sense is that Ed and the others do not initiate 
these approaches to third parties; this is a 
social networking site marketing ploy that all of 
them (Facebook and the rest) indulge in for as 
long as they can get away with it - once they 
have access to your contacts list.

So when I receive these pleas to join, I ignore 
them and consign them to the waste bin.

I am afraid that I don't have Marsha's natural 
courtesy - which I remember with great affection from years back.

Love to all,

Adam Thomson, Dover England.
