Speaking of questionable solicitations, as I was yesterday,
LinkedIn has got somewhat weirder. I think it’s because if you’re in a group
with someone, you can send them messages for free (without buying a premium
subscription).
The invitation to a security & counter-terrorism
group was kind of strange, because I have no bleeding idea what it is about my
LinkedIn profile that would lead anyone to think I have experience or even
interest in that field. Except that I mention that my research concentration is
in military history—but that is kind of a tenuous connection at best.
However, even stranger than me in a terror community
is the invitation I got from some chick wanting me to join a group called
Working Moms for Healthy Living:
Now, trust me—there is absolutely nothing in my
LinkedIn profile that would lead anyone to connect me with working momdom.
& given the choice between counter-terrorism
& working mothers, guess which group I’d pick?
