[Oe List ...] Apologies!!

[Marsha Hahn]

I was trying to get through a backlog of email.  It never occurred to me that 
the LinkedIn invite was to the OE list until I had already sent the reply.  I 
just didn't stop to look closely.  Does seem a little weird.

Marsha

Oh, for sure—try Googleing yourself if you want a scare.

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.
