People don't just decide off the hoof to provide Endorsements. LinkedIn spams them to death with redirects to pages where they're invited to endorse their contacts' skills when they try and navigate through their site.

Kept getting a "people you may know" thing with a vaguely familar name and then remembered it was a bloke I worked with back in the 80s. Also seen names of a neighbour up the road, a local councillor and a previous broker I did a bit of business with. Think some must spend their time searching for any names they can think of.
See another link I do actually have business with has added "Microsoft Word" to his skills list. Wow!Last edited by xoggoth; 5 November 2012, 14:48.bloggoth
