Accepting every connection on LinkedIn pretty much defeats the purpose. I only add people that I could ask for personal introductions to others ensuring my LinkedIn network is actually useful.
I suppose if you've never gone through the backdoor in order to meet someone, LinkedIn could seem like a big waste of time. For me though, the network graphs of who I know that I can ask for an introduction are quite valuable.
- jsight 15y agoFrom the site's FAQ: "Who should use this service? People who want to stay on good terms with their colleagues without having to log in to LinkedIn." I think this pretty much means it is for people who don't really want a linkedin account, but don't want to their coworkers to feel shunned. I don't see much point in this beyond that. If you actually cared about using LinkedIn to build a social graph around yourself, you wouldn't use this, IMO.
