Agents and LinkedIn

[BoredBloke]

I use linkedin, not had anything concrete out of it as of yet, but find it useful for keeping in touch. I use my own personal email address and not the one I dish out to agents. Today in my agents email I got a pimp requesting me add them to my network - not done via the proper add connection route but via the pimp emailing out the link to www.linkedin.com Have many other had their email spammed by XXXXXX today?

I dont have a problem with adding them, providing they reciprocate and send me the contact details for all the comapnies they do business with.

I don't add any agents to my linkedIn page as a matter of policy just because I'm connecting directly leaders in my industry... and I don't what them lifting every contact off my page.

I don't need a 3rd person holding our hands.

Like you I've still not had anything solid out of linkedIn.

I'm thinking the unthinkable now and dishing out a few wods to attend a conference... networking always works.

I've made some good contacts out of LinkedIn, I do link to pimps (one's that I do use and are of use) but have blocked my contacts so that they can't pilfer from them

Yes, this morning. I ignored it.

Ignore if you don't want it, and make your contact list private.

Apart from that I've had quite a few job offers through it, so find it useful.

[FiveTimes]

how do you make your contact list private ?

I've found out now
