Linked in is the only social network that's managed to link me to other people in ways i cannot explain.
An example: I had a real life connection to a trainer, i studied for an industry qualification with him. I had zero online line connections to him. Somehow linked in put us together.
His profile mentioned nothing about taking that course, mine mentioned nothing about attending his course. My work handled all the procurement side of things so he had no access to my email address or anything like that.
In credit to linked in, this guy happened to be the best trainer i'd ever studied with so i was actually pleased to see the recommendation. Still wondered how they managed it though!
