Hear, hear! Generally when I get an invite on LinkedIn, it looks just like the one you took a screen capture of. I can’t imagine sending an invitation to connect without adding a little something personal — what if the person doesn’t necessarily remember where we met? Or if it’s been awhile since we worked together? It takes 30 seconds to personalize; why don’t people do it more often?

Comment on 5 Social Stupidities that Drive me Absolutely Nuts by Dave Shockley

Thanks I agree with all 5. It is becoming my policy if they do not have a photo (of themselves) or a completed profile I do not return the follow or add them to a circle etc. It only makes since that you would want to know a little something about the individual asking for a follow. I have had some even ask me to give them a referrence on other social edia sites and I have no idea who they are or I have just recently connected with them. They may have had a complete profile, but hey I don’t really know you.

I believe it is dangerous to continue to lead people to think that eating what she wants and she will be ok is very deceptive. As for me she is off my list.
