LinkedIn-The Latest Extorter of Personal Information for Profit

LinkedIn a social networking website that utilizes its users connections and contacts to make money in making introductions is the latest in middle-man web trash. The services on linked in that are useful cost money and becoming a member and adding contacts is not worth it. Think about it. What are your corporate contacts worth to you?
Consultants make a living off of managing contacts and knowing people. People gain jobs and friends from making meaningful introductions. Hold on to your contacts. Your Information is worth something or at the very least worth the networking services that Linkedin provides. Members should not pay a dime. You can catch up with former class-mates on My Space for free. Linkedin is the corporate version of INTERNET DATING. They profit on both ends for charging you and potential contacts for informations for virtually no work. How evolved is this pay version- of a post but don't read message board.

Meet-Up owned by Yahoo, is also a great idea, that comes with a price tag. The services offer great opportunity for stay at home mom's and other groups yet it costs money to run a group. Start a blog for free and I promise an application that scours the net for groups  and brings it all to one spot for free will be in the works shortly, OH WAIT YOU CAN ALREADY GOOGLE FOR GROUPS

In short, both these services get an F- so close to giving them a G- Don't subscribe or support services that do not preserver your digital liquidity or make your life easier on the dirt cheap or free.
