Couple of questions about this "social network" (??) internet thingy.
I ain't real smart with computers, and my brain is slower than a rattle snake in winter.
Crikey, I can't even keep up with Facebook.
But how can Linkedin help me (or anyone else) in business, when someone is half a world away. ??
I seem to get a lot of requests from American people to join and be their buddy, what would be the perceived benefit in accepting their request.??
Most of them I don't know, but they profess to know somebody that I know.
I may have replied to someone on a forum or met at an industry event such as Connections, and such a connection (no pun intended) is made, thus giving these people a reason to contact me.
I can't really see any reason that someone in Pigsty, Alabama, or Nome, Alaska, would want to have me as their "Link friend" being several thousand miles and a few countries away.
Hence most of these requests, I have deleted.
Look forward to some replies.
Shorty, lost in the tropical ethernet.
