Wierd, everytime I see linkedin I seem to think that it's Link-edlin

must be the font I'm using.

My Google scrubber wiped the OP. Anyhow, I don't know what can be better than a real newsgroup to exchange information and hints.

Too late. Now you've shown your age. For anymore who doesn't know what Edlin is or, ahem, can't remember:

But why would you be linking it? You don't have the source!

(Not that it would be hard to rewrite... or compile as a .COM file, that technically needs no linking at all.)

Anyone ever subscribed to Linkedin? I got several invitations, but it all seems a bit suspicious to me. Just another spam generator or am I wrong?

Or Vi. Thank the gods those days have gone.

Never have been a PC "expert" , but I used to get Procomm singing when I had to transfer stuff to video editing systems. Still got the 3.5" disk.

The sendmail configuration files are the best proof that there have been aliens from outer space on this planet. No human could ever come up with something like that.

LinkedIn seems decent enough, although a few people use it for a kind of spamming (people with over 1500 connections and member of every existing group) which somewhat deteriorates the SNR on searches.

I would also say 'reasonably respectable'. While one guy did spam me a little he also seriously offered me a job once.

I don't use it much though, a bit complicated. Questions sections are more from marketing/business people who are interested in 'connections'.

May use it more when I lose my current job at the next redundancy/bust!

I looked at it once, it strikes me as a form of do my work (or homework) for me type of site.

No spam that I've noticed, in 6yrs. It won't supply anyone's e-mail address. It produces a lower profile than the randomly redistributed threads of use-net. I've not spent any time figuring out what it's basic features can be used for - some are pay-for-use.

It's an iffy method of renewing contacts and keeping in touch with acquaintances, who may be so obliged. Many professionals prefer a zero-profile on the net and still consider the whole thing to be basically hogwash. I sympathize.
