It is easy to forget that a good many recruiters are not as clued in to LinkedIn as we might think talking among ourselves. Shally posts Recent LinkedIn Changes: Boom or Bust? on Bells & Whistles and Danny asks:

"People that want to contact me through linkedin have to pay right? I have to pay to contact people too. This is a static directory of names right? No news, no industry information….remind me again why people are using linkedin?"

If you want to reply to Danny here I'll cut and paste your answers to the post. Better still, copy your comments on the post itself and do us both a favor!

Thanks a bunch.
