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?

Aha! This would explain why I didn't Get It. Linking to people I used to work with doesn't actually make much sense to me, since the only thing we ever had in common was work, and in most cases, it was so many years ago, no one will remember me. Or so I tell myself. It's possible that not everyone has as bad a memory for people as I do.
