I’ve been a LinkedIn user for a while now - I can see the applicability of this to Facebook: 1. Don’t say yes to an invitation from a person you don’t really know. LinkedIn works best as a way to leverage your professional circle of people you know well or know their work well. I love looking through my friends’ professional networks to get an idea of what introductions I could possibly get from a friend. My friend can say to her friend, “This is Penelope, you should get to know her because of x.” But this only works if my friend actually knows me and the other person well. Otherwise, I may as well make the introduction myself. [...] […] Penelope Trunk has the following advice for inviting people to LinkedIn.

Every working person should have a web presence and right now, LinkedIn is the best place to have it. Because that's the first database a lot of recruiters go to when they get a search. 2. Searches on LinkedIn only turn up people who are three degrees away from you, so you have to bring as many people as possible within three degrees in order to be in their active database Therefore, you should also put your email address after your name in the surname field so that people who want to extend their networks will send you an invitation. The comments here amaze me.
