I log in when I see an email requesting authorization or to provide a recommendation upon request. <BR/><BR/>I love my job and less interested in who works where, although I like to keep in touch with friends and students. <BR/><BR/>It helps others connect and request a recommendation. <BR/><BR/>As John noted, I'm not completely comfortable with its public view and did not like disclosing professional as well as personal information. <BR/><BR/>The choices for "how you know this person" need an entry box as they do not include the kind of relationships I have with students from 12 years of classes. <BR/><BR/>I wind up in the fellow classmate category or feeling disconnected, as if I am the next best thing to a stalker. *smiles*Lyr Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16869167869974622921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631944497940566973.post-12766287658661199432008-08-26T22:05:00.000-05:002008-08-26T22:05:00.000-05:00I also was introduced to LinkedIn as a capability ...I also was introduced to LinkedIn as a capability to keep contact with business associates from other companies even when they have changed jobs.<BR/><BR/>One of the major issues (not so much with the actual technology but rather the social responsibleness of the capability). As one move higher in the organization and moves into an executive position, managing and protecting contracts is a very important issue. I doubt that if a CEO/CIO of a company intrusts you with their professional and personnal contact information, they don't what it passed out like a door prize.<BR/><BR/>For the mid-level employee probably a good technology, but not sure for the executive.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204367967250782237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631944497940566973.post-57337569231695484562008-08-24T20:21:00.000-05:002008-08-24T20:21:00.000-05:00The same thing happened were I work as well.

When I first did this there were four other people IN MY DEPARTMENT (of eight!) that had accounts. Turns out most of them didn't know the others had accounts.
