[DeTomaso] NPC Anyone using Linkedin? Issues?

[Charles McCall]

1) Mike, there is a way to configure your account so that you aren't
bombarded with news. I signed up with them years ago and use it very very
sparingly, and don't receive much spam. 
2) Something to consider is that all your movements are public - if you look
at someone's profile, they know you've looked at it. People also know when
you've last signed on. This makes it sort of annoying if, um, you've fired
people and they keep trying to get in touch with you via Linkedin. You can
ignore them, but they know you are ignoring them. You've already fired them
I suppose, so I don't know how much more upset they can be with you but it
does make things a little awkward.

>>>I made the mistake of signing up with them.   There is apparently NO way 
to un-sign, which should tell you something.   Now I'm constantly bombarded 
with spam from Linkedin, telling me that somebody I've never met now is 
connected with somebody else I've never met.

I send ALL Linkedin mail directly to the spam folder.   People who I want 
to get ahold of me can easily get ahold of me without using Linkedin.

I suppose it's an effective tool for a certain class of professional who is 
able to use it to build networks for future employment etc.   But for a guy 
like me, it's a nuisance.
