[kwlug-disc] OT: LinkedIn

[Ron Singh]

Send us the link for your Linkedin profile, a quick google sure renders a
lot of obituaries for a Ronald Barnes!

I have no use for Linkedin in any direct fashion, but folks checking in to
see if I am still alive find value in it I suppose, based on Linkedin
notifications saying someone's been checking my profile. Or maybe, the
folks checking profiles could be bots crawling around, no idea.
