i have had many request to link up there. i joined for grins and absolutely hate that place. i get spamed 10 times a day by them so i dont go there. trying to delete my account. so if you sent one dont take it personally it's just the site i dont care for . :mad-new:
 
I have yet to see what benefit there is to being on there in the first place?
So my competition can see who my clients are?
Place is useless to me.
 
i didn't see the big deal but had friends there. after joining i got hounded. i'm not looking for a job or any of the other stuff they keep sending.
 
I resisted joining but kept getting requests from people I know so finally I relented and accepted the request. It seems there is never any real communication of worthwhile information and no real benefit from being a member.
I do refuse to let them raid my email addresses for their promotional efforts. Probably should just delete my account as well.
 
chad its like a business networking site. kinda like facebook but more for business/professional or work related stuff. i can see where it could be good for those that really use it but i have had it for a few years now and its never done anything for me but i dont go on it and network at all. i never get emails from it though. maybe 1 a month, so it really just sits there. we have an understanding, it doesnt bother me and i dont bother it lol.
 
I think Jim has found the secret. When I first went there because a relative invited me, I got messages almost every day. I stopped responding and it slowed down and I don't get more than one or two messages a week now. It has become a sleeping dog for me so I just leave it alone.
 
Good to know I have a few friends in the trades that referred me to it to join I haven't yet as I wanted to look into it more. I don't advertise word of mouth only & a facebook page that is set up as a gallery/ reference page for new customers. I will stay away from it now.
