1 thought on “LinkedIn and Facebook etiquette”
I had a problem with LinkedIn taking the addresses I had checked for them to use out of my mailbox and garbling them. So PeterPan@aol received an email that said Susan2PeterPan@aol. (those are ficticious names) Their system combined the names in my address book in very strange ways. It was bizarre. I have no idea how many people were offended by it, or turned off from the very unprofessional approach that was LinkedIn’s technical glitch.
