It's a bit strange when you look at who has been looking at you.
Have had ex-colleagues, also people from companies where I had applied for jobs, and the ex!

It's a load of old bollocks is LinkedIn.  I'm only on it as when I left work someone asked me to "to keep in touch"  (like email and telephone's don't work anymore FFS).   Now nigh on every sodding day I get reminded about people's work anniversaries, that they've endorsed me for some supposed skill or even their birthdays.  And now it is sending me details of jobs I might want - I don't.

FWIW two ever so important rules with LinkedIn:

1. Never let it invite all your email address book  -  you will annoy most of your friends.

2. Never ever ever ever let it link to your e-calendar.  It will add loads of peoples birthdays into your calendar as read only entries you cannot delete or edit.
