Here's an invitation that should get you in. If you have problems, PM me with your email address and real name and I'll invite you individually.

And thus, the deathknell of LinkedIn begins.
Henceforth it shall be known as LinkedFaceBook

A few maggots are in my linkedin group, which is fine, but I can't see putting this cakefarting hellhole on my business profile.

I'm there as well. Samir Nagaenajar, Initrode Corp (formerly Initech).

I was kind of thinking the same thing, although... as career limiting moves go, it would not be so different from me just being me in the first place.

No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Samir Na-gheen-an-a-jar. Nagheenanajar.

Naga... Nahgje... Well, Nagana work here any more, that's for sure.

**PowTron** · 07-29-2008, 11:00 AM

I accepted the group invite...thanks, man!

The group is growing. The tough part is that I don't know peoples real names so I'm sort of stuck just approving everyone who applies for membership. Please alert me if you discover someone is abusing the group on LinkedIn. Right now its easy to figure out who I am - I'm the only manager of the group.

**Sinecure** · 08-04-2008, 07:05 PM

I've accepted everyone who has applied. For those of you not already connected to me, please add me as a connection, or PM or email me your contact info so I can add you. Its hard to connect screen names with real life names, but I've been able to do it with some. We're currently at 21 maggots in the LinkedIn group.

**Millsie** · 08-05-2008, 02:07 PM

Make that 22. I just joined the group.

**Sinecure** · 08-12-2008, 09:34 AM

We're up to about 32 members of the TGR group on LinkedIn. I'm on vacation so there's a bit of a delay in me approving new requests to join, but I'll get to new ones in a day or two.

Now if I could just figure out a way for us to recognize our screen names from our real life names. I asked LinkedIn and they have no way to handle it (other than to add it to your profile which may or may not be a good idea - depending on how you behave here vs. how you want professional contacts to believe you behave).

the guy in AK = me

thanks for gettin this setup sinecure

**hemas** · 08-12-2008, 11:42 PM

Actually we're at 33 (or more?) since I just joined... Should be pretty easy to spot, unlikely that many peeps from Finlandia have joined. And besides, my nick here is derived from my 1st name and last plus and extra S.

**Sinecure** · 08-13-2008, 09:53 AM

We're up to 38 as of this morning.

**Tuckerman** · 08-13-2008, 10:01 AM

Hey the suns out go play golf, before it rains again.

I have the same issue today. Won't let me add people that sent invites, takes me to the log in screen, type in password and takes me back to the same damn screen and won't let me add.

Anyone know why this is?

**Tippster** · 08-26-2008, 12:47 PM

Hey - I'll play

**Elle Be** · 08-26-2008, 03:06 PM

I joined. Guess I have to await the approval

**Sinecure** · 08-26-2008, 03:36 PM

LB is approved/anointed.

That brings us to 47 members.

**smitchell333** · 08-26-2008, 03:38 PM

What the hell, you people can't be any worse than some of the kooks I'm "LinkedIn" with, can you?

If you add a whole bunch of people at once, and some of them indicate they "don't know you" on the screen, it will lock out your ability to directly invite folks w/out their email addy. You can have the restriction removed if you indicate you understand the rules and contact customer service asking to have the restriction removed.

**Elle Be** · 08-26-2008, 03:59 PM

I never, ever, use LinkedIn, but tooled around there today (I've been on there for like 6 years!), and realize I don't know any of your guys real names. If you invite me, be sure to mention TGR so that you don't get locked out!

Had an interesting look around some ex-boyfriend's profiles, was more interesting than Facebook.

Thank Sin, sent email to them.
