Dear Maria, I want to personally thank you because you were one of LinkedIn's first million members (member number 399,261 in fact!*). In any technology adoption lifecycle, there are the early adopters, those who help lead the way. That was you. We hit a big milestone at LinkedIn this week when our 100 millionth member joined the site.

Intention 2: To gently promote your company or services by providing others with an “added value” article or tip “strutting your stuff” to allow you to start building relationships with strangers on the list. You are going to promote having a discussion and want comments about the content of the

Here are a few of my personal favorites to "not do"! 1) Don't connect with me telling me we're friends when we are not.  I know you're doing it this way because you don't know me  and if you don't know me,  LinkedIn makes you provide my email address.  Instead a)  Send me an email that you want to connect and include your LinkedIn URL and email address. b) If we're in a group together send me an email me that you'd like to connect and include your email address that I'll use to connect to you.  Of course, there are no guarentees that I'll connect with you, but you hve a better shot that I will if
