Weird Linkedin request

[Dactylion]

I wonder if 10% of the Linked in Accounts are for dogs - as is apparently the case with Facebook....

Well I have seen quite a few fugly munters on Facebook but 10% ?

Oh you mean real dogs, as in furry canines not just "real dogs" - Sorry

I'm going to view a house at the weekend and I got a connection request on Linkedin from the guy who's selling the house.

He's in a completely different industry to me so there's no professional reason to send me an invite.

I can understand him having a 'nosey' at my profile, probably to see if I'm likely to be able to afford his house. But sending an invite is a bit weird. Isn't it?

Some people view LI as a networking tool, that linking with anyone and everyone is sensible. I think that is contrary to the point of the site but it's pretty common so I wouldn't consider it weird - just ignore the invite.

Doesn't it try and connect to everybody on their mailing list if they use that feature? I seem to have all sorts of links to people I scarcely know.
