LinkedIn Said I Was a Bad Boy
January 29, 2009 | by brett | Permalink
As some avid followers on this blog know, I’ve been feverishly boosting up my social connection capital in an effort to share our weekly videos with the world. Well, apparently LinkedIn didn’t like it.
I’m on my last limb with LinkedIn, where they are threatening to throw me out if I continue to add connections that I’ve only exchanged emails with once or twice. This would be the second time I’ve been thrown off a social networking site, the first being Digg about three years ago for posting a link to an article.
Here’s the message I got from LinkedIn. And if you’d like to add me as a connection, please do by clicking here.
