I believe I already good sir - along with many others.
I still don't get the point of it all.
Same with facebook. Bunches of folks from my long, long past always want to be friends.
I still don't get it all.
What's the point?

Maybe there is no point.

I see it as a networking opportunity. If you are looking for work or just catching up with old friends, it's a great way to network.

I am LinkedIn. If you have been to my page, it is probably barren screen. I've never opened it.

When I go there it is like when I open a facebook page, I get a screen that that tells me that my computer cannot open that page until I sign in or sign on.

It is all I can do to keep up with my email, not going to try to deal with update of a personal webpage until I have more personal time.

As I said the other day, I am signed up with LinkedIn but I'm not sure why. I even signed up for some of the "groups" and got confirmation that I was accepted. I don't know if it's a coincidence but I seem to be getting a lot more unsolicited emails wanting to sell me stuff since I signed up. Maybe some day I will get a big surge of jobs because of it, so I guess it's worth a try. This site we're on now seems to be about the most ideal format for networking if you ask me.

Ok, so I'm browsing LinkedIn a few minutes ago, looking at a list of "connections" and I see this:

Note the "you" icon next to my name. I found myself wondering why it would be necessary to inform me that I am me. Someone at LinkedIn obviously experienced a moment of brilliance. All this time, I thought I might be someone else, but I wasn't sure. Whew! At least now I know.
