LinkedIn is up to its old tricks trying to suggest folks
that I’d probably like to be connected to. Lots of good people related to
my profession, and so I take them up on most of their suggested match ups.
Nothing bad has happened so far. No axe murderers have looked up my
address and paid me a visit in the middle on the night or anything.
But here’s some titles of people that I’ve chosen not to connect to:
Watercolorist
Away From Home Marketing Manager
Inspirational Communicator and Advisor
Experienced Survivor of Catastrophe
Now that last one, I don’t know exactly how you collect
experience on catastrophe. Does it just find you, or do you go after it
like one of those storm chasers on the Weather Channel?
I don’t think I want to know.

I would love to get my hands on their search algorithm. My father-in-law joined today and it recommended him to me within hours. Kind of scary.
Feel free to find me! My title is cell therapy systems planner, if you're curious....but now I may change it to experienced survivor of catastrophe, just for giggles.
LinkedIn (which I actually do appreciate for professional reasons)can be scary. Today it suggested the name of a guy in Houston to me, a guy I was scheduled to have a phone conversation with a few hours hence. I had agreed to talk with him about job prospects in New England to help him with his search. A mutual professional colleague put us in touch with one another about two weeks ago but we couldn't find a suitable time to talk until this afternoon. So how did LinkedIn know to suggest him to me? Are "they" reading my e-mail?? I dunno.
