Re: Let's stay in touch on LinkedIn

Hi Pete,

You have an interesting, very international background!

I too am a member of FRIAM, but for some reason I cannot accept the invitation. It is probably better to do it within LinkedIn (and probably more time consuming if you are going to do all the FRIAM members).

Regards, Liz

Is this an appropriate use of this list. I am worried about the "what if everbody did it?" argument.

In short, does asking a list to "friend" you scale up?

I suspect poor Pete got tripped by one of the features these social networking sites have where they offer (ambiguously?) to "friend" everyone in your address book for you... that is almost always a _really bad idea_ and doubly so if you have mail lists in your address book.

I am interested in social networking phenomena but find all of the social networking sites/systems at least a bit "off". At the very least they are somewhat mercenary and they are naturally designed for least-common-denominator use.

Our own Marko Rodriguez's Knowledge Reef (now defunct) showed some promise of transcending some of this... but alas... they ran out of steam before they ran out of hill. It was really a "recommender" system for publishing and authors and such.

I believe I'm LinkedIN with a half-dozen folks on this list and might consider a half-dozen more as suitable colleagues, but most of the hundreds of folks here who endure our prattle (and sometimes add their own) are not "close enough" for those purposes.

This is even more acute with FaceBook "friending".... an even smaller number of folks here would fit my FB friend criteria.

Not besides, linkedin doesn't work that way-one must send link
requests to *individuals*. "Inviting" a listserv address does not
enable the members to link with the sender.
