OK, so I'm on LinkedIn now.
("You are now connected with Jim Henderson". Eewww... it makes it sound
so... weird. What is this, a hive mind or something?)
Any other random people want to be "connected" with me? o_O

That's nothing. I opened a fake account on twitter to wonder at the
reaction. People simply seem to "follow" you for reasons that are truly
beyond me. I believe it's the same reason why GUIs are a success or
virus and trojans via email spread so fast: people simply enjoy
clicking stuff.
OTOH, there seems to be a lot of spam accounts in twitter right now, and
most of my "followers" are those bots, possibly hopeful that I'll follow
them too and then spreading more... :P

Clue: do a google search?q=A+B where A is a software well known in these
parts and B a rather arcane computer language. The third or fourth link
should give you enough information to look him up in LinkedIn ;)

Why are you on there? That's for business people isn't it?

I would, but I'm sick to death of registering and creating passwords
for nearly *everything* on the 'net now. I must have around 20-30 accounts
by now, (I dunno, I'll count them), and I don't know if that's a lot or a
small amount compared to others, but it's way too many for me. I'm not sure
that this registering trend is the way to go.

I am still no good with these search engines. :(

be a computer software professional. first bit of info matches, I am not
sure about that professional ;)

Well for business contacts - there's quite a variety of people from the
IT field in there as well. I suggested he join in order to expand his
network of job prospects.
Now he needs to fill out the profile information. :-)

It's funny, because just the other day one of my friends sent me an invite.
So I made an account, and I seem to be automatically "connected" to my
friend, but I have no idea how to find or add you...

Yeah, my dad is similarly bemused. And so was I when a college at work
added me a few years back.
The site is pretty unintuitive, for sure.

The more I look into this, the more I realise I'm nowhere near as
anonymous as you'd think.
I mean, you walk up to a random guy in the street and say "hi", and he
now knows what you look like and what you sound like. But he doesn't
know your name, where you live, who you work for, or anything.
Walk up to a random forum on the Internet and say "hi", and suddenly
people potentially know quite a lot about you. o_O
