Saving you some embarrassment on LinkedIn with this console tip

LinkedIn - People I don't know

Current date: 2016-08-23

I'm one of those people who still holds on to the hope that LinkedIn is a good idea. I check in daily and check all the areas I've been trained to look at on most social media sites.

The thing that annoys me about LinkedIn is the "People you may know" page. That long list of your contacts' third cousins, college buddies, and other total strangers. They've designed the page so that you'll accidentally click on one of those strangers, causing an embarrasing incident.

"I'm not really interested in hiring a life-coach at my company right now. Sorry to get your hopes up."
