Manners for the Twenty-First Century

[rolanni]

OK, somebody explain LinkedIn to me. I have an account. Why I have an account escapes me at the moment, doubtless it had to do with procrastinating while on deadline or something similar. Lots of nice people want me to join their Circles of Influence, Associates Lists, Business Networks and Groups. I've been ignoring them, not through malice, but through a genuine lack of cluefulness. What is this thing for, in theory, and how is it supposed to work?

Actually my ex is a freelance writer who uses it a lot for finding work. Basically it's like Facebook minus the fluff, built for professional networking.
