http://www.unblakeable.com/linkedin-%e2%80%93-a-tool-not-a-butler/ Trying to be heard over the cacophony of the Internet, one rant at a time. Thu, 06 Oct 2011 11:59:00 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 http://www.unblakeable.com/linkedin-%e2%80%93-a-tool-not-a-butler/comment-page-1/#comment-778 Shahid Murtuza Wed, 04 Aug 2010 12:12:29 +0000 http://www.unblakeable.com/?p=16#comment-778 Nice post and blog; I'm curious about Atlanta and just subscribed. One thing I would point out about paid subscriptions - they are of use to people who need to contact folks outside their network. For example, when I was looking at MBA programs, I didn't have many friends who had gone to the schools in which I was interested. By paying for InMails, I was able to shoot messages to (and often get responses from) folks outside of my network whose contact information I would not have otherwise had. I'm in no way affiliated with LinkedIn, but paying for a few InMails is a great way to circumvent the limitations of one's own network. It's also good if your own connections (or their connections), for whatever reason, fail to pass along introductions. Regards, Shahid.
