The only link to this page is through my LinkedIn profile. So anyone reading this came through there and can relate. Some of my "contacts", you know the people who people collect, and just send out massive invites and such. The thing that bugs me though, and this is against the general rules in LI anyway, is when their names are:
!Thisismy Name (3000+ tname3001@hotmail.com). What is that? Seriously, I mean what are you doing?
If you are that desperate and so lame that you want to not only promote the number of your connections and add your contact information for number junkie networkers, then you need help. The most annoying part is that when I look at my contacts, your name crosses over from one column to the next.
Ive said it before, some old people on this site treat it like an adult myspace. Some adults are out of touch with technology and a bit confused with proper web etiquette. This is not Myspace, this is not the place to collect hot friends with fake pictures to show your cyber friends. No one cares about 5000+ contacts. The point of the site is networking and what your connections can yield. Do you know who all these 5000+ people are or do you just want to compare the size of your network with other people since you never thought it was big enough, and felt bad about it since that time in the showers after gym class.
Get a grip people. Desperation smells so bad.
