		<description>You are absolutely correct and unfortunately I initially was &quot;That Person&quot;. Maybe it was because I was nervous about  social medial and thus used stock invites. I have since learned to check out websites and learn about who I am trying to connect with. Thank you for the article. Hopefully others will not make the same initial mistake that I did.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t care for responses that ask &#039;me&#039; to do the inviting in order to grow the other person&#039;s network, however if the person is asking to connect and gives a fairly good reason I do connect more often than not.  I do take the steps to review their profile though prior in order to see if it is just a spam connection.   I agree also that  Linkedin is a forum to connect with others even if you don&#039;t know them, it gives a chance to connect with others and potentially learn from those who have more experience in other fields and have more people to bounce ideas off of.</description>

		<description>Absolutely! Don&#039;t send me canned connect requests. If you know me, fine, I&#039;ll see that it&#039;s you and I&#039;ll accept it, but I&#039;m not accepting from people I don&#039;t know because the &quot;connection&quot; implies you have one. 

I think this discussion is missing the most important point of &quot;connecting.&quot; I view this from a conversation marketing perspective (on a friend/personal level who cares how you do it.) From a conversation marketing standpoint, the purpose of connecting with people is to build relationships for interacting with the market conversation and the Influencers who drive those conversation and their Participants and Listeners. By now, every marketing, sales, and business professional should understand that #s don&#039;t necessarily mean anything. Just because a million people accept a connection request to you, doesn&#039;t mean you have a relationship with any of them--so what is the point?</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Absolutely! Don&#8217;t send me canned connect requests. If you know me, fine, I&#8217;ll see that it&#8217;s you and I&#8217;ll accept it, but I&#8217;m not accepting from people I don&#8217;t know because the &#8220;connection&#8221; implies you have one. </p>
<p>I think this discussion is missing the most important point of &#8220;connecting.&#8221; I view this from a conversation marketing perspective (on a friend/personal level who cares how you do it.) From a conversation marketing standpoint, the purpose of connecting with people is to build relationships for interacting with the market conversation and the Influencers who drive those conversation and their Participants and Listeners. By now, every marketing, sales, and business professional should understand that #s don&#8217;t necessarily mean anything. Just because a million people accept a connection request to you, doesn&#8217;t mean you have a relationship with any of them&#8211;so what is the point?</p>

		<description>Excellent advice. Thank you.
When I don&#039;t have time to open the profile of the requester, I generally postpone my acceptation for a better time to give a personal answer. Elisabeth</description>

		<description>This is a great article and I&#039;ve read some really good comments regarding this subject. But let&#039;s look at this like educated adults and remember that good advice is just that. One must do what works best for that person in that situation, and everyone is different. Use common sense and be sincere.</description>
