Neil BrownI am amazed that LinkedIn is not great for privacy.
Shocked, I tell you.
Jaimie's Erotica@neil Right? Who saw that coming??
Jason@Jaimieserotica @neil what happened with LinkedIn?
Oh, this particular one was about LinkedIn and Chrome, and getting a list of browser extensions.
But, more generally, LinkedIn is a cesspit, IMHO:

Yeah. Unfortunately, the people I work for expect us to have LinkedIn and use it for business development (bringing in work) which it doesn't do - it just fills my inbox with emails from recruiters trying to get me interested in a job for half the pay I'm on now at the other side of the country.
'Billy Big-Balls would like to connect with you.'
Well Billy Big-Balls can kiss my squidgy white ass.
Grrrrr.
i don't like LinkedIn...

Exactly this.
I know that some people here have found it useful for bringing in work, but I certainly did not.
But, honestly, I am rubbish at marketing.
Excellent!
Given what you do, I guess I'm surprised that that kind of networking is a thing, but that probably just shows my naivety.
I am reliant on my good looks, charm, and social media / blog posts...
@neil It absolutely isn't a thing in terms of bringing in my clients, i can assure you. We're all expected to take a turn at BD events though, regardless.
I'd drum up more work if I sat in the park with a case of high-strength cider.

How strange!

Sure, but what a legal work....?! :)
