[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Accept everyone on linked in.  [/quote]
me too[/quote]

Really?? Didn't realize people did that bc sometime I get invites from total strangers and feel no compulsion to accept.[/quote]
Ok, let me rephrase. I accept everyone whose name I recognize.[/quote]

Can I ask why? What do you gain from doing that? If you needed something career-wise, would you ever call one of those people who you merely knew by name? Would you feel ok reaching out to them to say "hey I see you have a contact at xyz, could you connect me"? Or is it just bc you don't want to be rude and decline?[/quote]
It's because I don't care. If I need something career-wise, I'm going to contact someone I know regardless of our status on Linkedin. I maintain contacts outside of social media. I didn't realize people took Linkedin so seriously.[/quote]

It doesn't hurt to accept someone even if you don't think they'll be "useful" to you career wise. I also didn't know people who don't have some sort of celebrity status policed their LinkedIn additions so closely. As long as I have met you or know you, you're in.[/quote]
