- 12. Myopencomment… • Please stop sharing these quizzes, brain teasers and riddles. I have you in my contacts for professional reasons. My network is comprised of high valuable contacts and professional business associates. I see LinkedIn as a professional network and do not consider this type of interaction as a professional dialog. In order to protect myself and my valued connections I will consequently remove partners in my network who I believe disturb and distract a professional exchange. You have to value for yourself what matters more: the connection you have with me and the benefit of the associated network or the gained popularity and interaction you have through those quizzes. I do value original content and personal views for sharing but not shared canned content which I believe only fuels the purpose of gaining popularity, hits and likes. I am happy to connect back with you when you consider my view of the use of LinkedIn and the responsibility that comes with it. If you want to connect on a personal level please send a new connections request and let me know your thoughts. • It was a pleasure having you as one of my valued contacts. • Kind regards, 404WYLO 12 ©2014www.404Whylo.com™Allrightsreserved.16February,2015
