Outside the limitation of LinkedIn's 30k max direct connections, I will accept anyone who wants to connect. My construct is this: most people who have changed the world do not typically have shiny CVs. And if you are looking at the typical as you build connections, you will miss the xfactors who can make your career better.

In this Tekedia entry, John Mc Keown examines the mechanics of building meaningful connections in social media: "You may also have something turn up in your messages with the heading ‘promoted’, or you may have noticed a section under your ‘My Network’ tab that lists ‘Recommended people for you’ each of which invite you to ‘follow’. The question is… what credentials merit that you follow them?"
