Not surprisingly, I am not on LinkedIn, but of course they send me tons of emails asking me to join (or suggesting that, without my knowing it, I am already a part of it.)
Here is one they sent me this morning, with possibly the least enticing hook line of all time:
“ID, see who you already know on LinkedIn.”
…
But… I already know them. So… why do I need LinkedIn? Well, lovers of social networking would say, perhaps it’s an easier way to keep in touch? But LinkedIn digs its grave even deeper! It continues on to say:
Now it’s easy to connect with people you email.
…
But… I ALREADY EMAIL THEM. WE’RE ALREADY CONNECTED. So if LinkedIn knows that I already know these people and also that I already email with them… then what exactly are they offering me?
PSA announcement to, oh, everyone: Just try harder, okay?
