I am on LinkedIn and although I don't use it often (or pay for the upgraded membership), I signed up because Jimmy Moses was the first to invite me to *join his network*!!! LOL @myself - I felt like a Rock Star, at least for a fleeting moment. Jim, are you out there somewhere? I'm still waiting for you to email me a recipe or something <g>. Seriously though, I was so close to cancelling my membership because, unbeknownst to me, I clicked some damn button and that triggered LinkedIn to act like a stealth worm, going about inviting everyone in my email contact list to join my network. Not only that, it then sent out frequent reminder emails reminders to these contacts if the hadn't joined. My Mom said to me, *what the H is LinkedIn, and why the H should I be joining your network*? Hidden in some privacy options was the answer on how to stop sending emails out - and for now there is peace. LinkedIn is still useful, but definitely on probation in my books. jack -----Original Message----- From: TISHW@xxxxxxx Sent: Monday, July 01, 2013 8:37 AM To: rockstarshepherds@xxxxxxxxx ; campaignersgsd@xxxxxxxxx Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: LinkedIn I thought the same thing when I read Joan's email. I'm pretty sure I got an invitation from her to join linked-in. And I still laugh about being invited to join Doris Estabrook on Facebook. Talk about a long distance connection!!!
