04 LinkedIN thinks 360,000 people, including me, are stupid.
From time to time I actually read some of the crap the social
networking sites keep spewing at me. Today LinkedIn sent me an email
with the big reversed-out head that reads : "Must Reads for Fred" --
wow they've noticed me! But what they actually sent just makes you
laugh! Enjoy 60-Seconds #315 :
