“So, what’s your Linkedin policy? No policy? It’s not too late to add one!”
What if it is too late now?
Two or three years ago, some of my past associates (classmates, coworkers, friends) who were on Linkedin told me that they will get to adding me as a direct connection “at another time” … and another time came in 2009, but now, I cannot add (accept nor invite) them to my network.
Why? Because of this:

What can be done??

Just came across this post (I’m a new reader to your blog) and wanted to write that I agree with your policy. I’ve met quite a few folks during my transition, but have added just a few as LI connections. I am, however, a member of a few LI groups. This is a two-fold strategy for me. I stay connected with others in my networking groups while keeping my connections to those who I share similar interests and/or a mutual connection with. I actually prefer Twitter over LI for connecting. On Twitter I can follow blogs (like Spin Strategy!) and if I find a post helpful, I share it with my LI groups. And so far, this strategy has worked for me.

It’s never too late. If there are people in your Linkedin connections that you honestly don’t know, send them a note and ask for 5 minutes! If they don’t agree maybe you should send them packing . . .
Thanks for saying what a lot of people are thinking!

Interesting – I have gone back and forth on this. I guess it’s time to make a decision!
