On LinkedIn we rarely communicate with each other. Occasionally I’ll get an LinkedIn email from somebody saying, “I see you know such-and-such, would you mind connecting me?&# In a way, LinkedIn has become mostly a chore for me – a place to provide intros for two people that I know.

Since I answer this all the time anyway I thought it might make an interesting blog post.
