Subject:Re: Publishing articles on LinkedIn From:Shawn <shawn -at- cohodata -dot- com> Date:Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:28:37 -0700
My invite from LinkedIn arrived this morning. Sorry, you are not that
unique in LinkedIn's eyes. :(
This invite reminds me of a time when I used to receive solicitations from,
"Who's Who" inviting me into the exclusive club of having my name printed
in these huge books listing all the "important people" of the world. Uh...
in other words, a list of people with egos larger than their brain.
Although it isn't anything special and anyone can publish, at any time, the
LinkedIn invitation's title word, "Congrats" was insultingly disingenuous.
