I was hoping that Linkedin would be a place where I could get to know people in my Industry, chat, and share Ideas. Luckily I was steered here by a kind soul, and will mend my ways. anyone know of a great place to meet industry folks in a friendly way In Austin Texas? Are groups the correct way to socialize and meet as opposed to making invites to people you are interested getting to know? Thanks=) (unintentional rule breaker) I too wish I had read this earlier!

Are groups the correct way to socialize and meet as opposed to making invites to people you are interested getting to know?

I have been putting my email address on every recomeendation. I'll certainly dscontinue that practice now. Do you think the LinkedIn Gods are forgiving?

As an example a scale from 1 - 5 will pop up and you can select 5 if you know the person extremely well, 4 if you know them as a coworker, 3 if you... (I think you get the idea). It would be quick to choose and would take care of letting others know, when viewing your profile and those in your network, just how well you are linked with that person. It doesn't seem like this would be too tough for LinkedIn to do (but, then again I'm not a techie).

Everyone is stranger until we introduce ourselves. If people only intend to network with known people then what is the purpose of belonging to a networking site? We already know those folks and can call them anytime. I do agree the invitations should be personalized; in fact linkedin could help with that by doing away with the canned invitations.

When you get handed an opportunity to cast a wide net, such as with the LION system, it seems quite attractive, regardless of the "pollution" of one's contact base (at times it is hard to see who's a real contact and who's not). Besides that, why would you not want to expand your network with connections of connections who look promising?
