    LinkedIn is getting sneakier in how they recommend contacts. Today I clicked on "Add to Network(5)" and improved LinkedIn's social graph of me because I was misled into thinking those contacts had requested a connection.

        I wouldn't be on LinkedIn at all, but everyone else seems to think it's important, and as a hungry contractor I can't afford to pass up any opportunities no matter how much it contradicts my own desire to avoid the commercial surveillance apparatus.

          @bobjonkman Keep track of where useful leads come from. You may find (as I did years ago) that #LinkedIn is better called #LockedOut, that the site is a dismal failure at its stated purpose.

            Couldn't agree more with @lnxw48a1 . All this site has to do is share my resume and any other data I provided that might interest potential employers.

            Instead, it's hiding increasingly more info behind an authentication wall.[1]

            And while that sounds bad and weird, but does have some merit (deny anonymous scraping by competitors), hiding one's own contacts [2] is just plain greedy (and obviously non-viable in the long run).
