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

[Herman Greene]

I not on linked in and like Susan can't deal with more than one, so I choose
Facebook. But I have no personal information on my home page other than my
name picture and profession. This, of course, doesn't mean that Facebook
can't find some value in my contacts and interests and correlate with larger
databases through my email address. To the extent we use the web, our lives
are an open book-at least those parts of our lives that can be captured as
data.

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.

Hi Ed,

Thank you for the invitation.  I am not currently part of LinkedIn, and not
ready to join right now.  If that changes, I will be glad to get connected
through that medium.  In the meantime, I hope things are well with you.
