Yes, I agree. I don't link with people I do not personally know. I would rather have quality connections with quality recommendations. Thanks for the comment. Yes, I agree.

My problem with Linked-In is that people that I do not know want to link in with me. As The Professional Networker and Speaker on the art and skill of Boomerang Networking, I am very cautious about who I connect with on these sites. If I do not know someone - I do not link. What if someone wants an introduction to someone I have not met? I would have to say, "I do not know this person at all, but they are connected to me, so yes I will make the connection." I would rather not bother being linked. Too many people in the cyber community think quantity is best. I would go for quality of links.
