    LinkBerry?

    I have an account on LinkedIn that I was using when I was looking for work last year, to an extent at least. I believe it's more responsible than anything else for the torrent of spam I received to the included e-mail address (thankfully, a disposable).

    I won't be adding this to my BlackBerry anytime soon. And I mean "soon" in glacial terms.

    No, thanks

    I've very busy taking my details off LinkedIn and only use it to find other people. Unlike other platforms such as Xing, LinkedIn spams everyone of your contacts when you as much as fart and you have only one way of controlling that short of leaving: reduce the number of contacts.

    Well, if I have to do that I might as well drop out of it altogether.
